Ms. Maya Angelou. I’m not sure I have the words, but I’ll sure try. You were the first thinker to really affect my own thought process. Only upon re-reading Heart of a Woman 10yrs later am i able to grasp just how much your words really influenced my being. Hope I’ve done you justice. Happy International Women’s Day everyone. @eyellustrated … #mayaangelou #portraitsofcolorfulpeople #intlwomensday #tbt #heartofawoman #author #poet #beautiful #love #digitalart #digital #illustration #nyc #brooklyn #internationalwomensday

In January I sent my dear friend @beilharz_official a blueprint for an artistic idea I had of 3 Black influential leaders in my life. It’s here today and I’m in love with the finished product. Thank you Lewis for taking the time to create such a beautiful artistic piece for me.. Swipe to see my favorite quotes from these amazing, brave people and the blueprint sketch I made, before this was manifested. ❤️ . . . . . #MLK #MLKJR #martinlutherkingjr #martinlutherking #mayaangelou #drmayaangelou #mayaangelouquotes #mlkquotes #lesbrown #lesbrownquotes #nycartist (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMqfldIrRD4/?igshid=1l622t9gy2os6

Interesting little bit there. Reminds me of the quote, “You only are free when you realize you belong no place — you belong every place — no place at all.”-Maya Angelou. Also, Chuck Palanhiuk, “It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.“ Also has shown up in Cowboy bebop, “It’s the best. Belonging is the very best thing there is.”-Faye Valentine, shortly after she says this, she discovers that her childhood home has long been gone.. In that she realizes that she never belonged to a place but to the happiness she gained from the people that were beside her and her experiences in what was once her home, thud she returns to the Bebop to be with her friends, wandering space with no permanent home, free, a vagabond, only with a home base where her heart lies, with her friends^.^ I belong nowhere, that’s why I can travel from state to state with only my pack on my back and loving vibes in my ♥
“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.“ -Maya Angelou- . I’m feeling pretty defeated lately. It’s growing pains for sure, but it doesn’t make it any easier. But these too shall pass and I’ll come out the other side better for it. . What keeps you motivated when all you seem to do is fail? . #whatdoesntkillyoumakesyoustronger #lowkeyphotography #horses #lifeadvice #mayaangelou (at Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbwU_84A-dG/?utm_medium=tumblr
