&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This is the thing: When you hit 28 or 30, everything begins to divide. You can see very clearly two kinds of people. On one side, people who have used their 20s to learn and grow, to find … themselves and their dreams, people who know what works and what doesn’t, who have pushed through to become real live adults. Then there’s the other kind, who are hanging onto college, or high school even, with all their might. They’ve stayed in jobs they hate, because they’re too scared to get another one. They’ve stayed with men or women who are good but not great, because they don’t want to be lonely. … they mean to develop intimate friendships, they mean to stop drinking like life is one big frat party. But they don’t do those things, so they live in an extended adolescence, no closer to adulthood than when they graduated. Don’t be like that. Don’t get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don’t lose yourself at happy hour, but don’t lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in a while and go out to coffee or climb in bed with your journal. Ask yourself some good questions like: “Am I proud of the life I’m living? What have I tried this month? … Do the people I’m spending time with give me life, or make me feel small? Is there any brokenness in my life that’s keeping me from moving forward?” Now is your time. Walk closely with people you love, and with people who believe … life is a grand adventure. Don’t get stuck in the past, and don’t try to fast-forward yourself into a future you haven’t yet earned. Give today all the love and intensity and courage you can, and keep traveling honestly along life’s path.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;read this somewhere, wanted to share. Still in my 20s, but i can see the divide starting already. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bitsofkemi.tumblr.com/post/50774231364</link><guid>http://bitsofkemi.tumblr.com/post/50774231364</guid><pubDate>Sat, 18 May 2013 21:15:00 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>hopefromabove:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you ever feel like someone doesn’t want to be friends with you anymore? They don’t have to say anything, you just know. They talk to other people more than you, take hours to reply to your texts instead of minutes, constantly make plans with other people and hardly ask you to hang out. All along you know it isn’t gonna end well but you still have that sliver of hope. And that one day, they ignore you completely. And you know, you finally have to accept, &lt;em&gt;you were right.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

What is..."</title><description>“Wearing a hijab isn’t inherently liberating – but neither is baring one’s breasts. What is liberating is being able to choose either of these things. It’s pretty ludicrous to think that oppression is somehow proportional to how covered or uncovered someone’s body is. Both sides of this argument present a shallow understanding of women’s empowerment, which only drowns out the substantive challenges facing all women – issues that cannot be encapsulated in a debate about a piece of fabric.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Sara Yasin, &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/04/24/is-the-hijab-worth-fighting-over/in-hijab-debate-a-weak-vision-of-feminism" target="_blank"&gt;Is the Hijab Worth Fighting Over?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

LAMAR: How do I choose chicks from backstage?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
BADU: Yeah, what is the protocol?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
LAMAR: I try not to. [laughs] I’m too scared. Anybody who knows me knows that I’m probably the most scared person when it comes to that because I’m so caught up in the act of sex, of something going crazy, going out of my control. I’m too paranoid.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
BADU: [laughs] So you just pass?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
LAMAR: I’ve got to because I’ve seen a situation where it got totally out of hand, where something seemed so innocent, and now this person has got allegations on them. It spooked me. This was before my career really started, though—before any “Kendrick Lamar.” And that right there? It changed my whole perception about certain things. I’ll always keep that in the back of my head.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
BADU: So who is your asshole-checker?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
LAMAR: Who is my what?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
BADU: Your asshole-checker—the person in your crew or your family who let’s you know if you’re being a asshole.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
LAMAR: I have two, actually. [both laugh] But the main one is a friend of mine—a lady friend who has known me since high school. She has always been someone, since day one, who has said something whenever I’m an asshole, or also if I’m doin’ something positive—but more so when I’m out of my element.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
BADU: What’s your favorite cereal?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
LAMAR: Fruity Pebbles. When people ask for my rider, they think I’m crazy: Fruity Pebbles, baked chicken, bottle of Hennessy, and some Polo socks.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
BADU: What do you, as a man, envy about what it means to be a woman?&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
LAMAR: There’s just a certain knowledge instilled in a woman. There are these things that women have that men just can’t grasp: the understanding of love; the understanding of being; having a certain type of care in your heart and knowing when to be compassionate; knowing how to be a confidante…&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
BADU: That’s a good perspective. Something I envy that men have is that ability to grow a goatee. I think that’d be really hot on me.</description><link>http://bitsofkemi.tumblr.com/post/50181845032</link><guid>http://bitsofkemi.tumblr.com/post/50181845032</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 May 2013 14:03:42 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>why they don’t sell these in Trinidad?</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d5b98b6c1d7f2e4f5716d93358c3d79b/tumblr_mmig18778x1r8u8uko1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;why they don’t sell these in Trinidad?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://bitsofkemi.tumblr.com/post/50016177437</link><guid>http://bitsofkemi.tumblr.com/post/50016177437</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2013 11:29:23 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>psitskayla:
