One of many beautiful skin tones

I think that extremely dark skin isn’t anything to be embarrassed of at all. It shouldn’t be bleached or covered extensively in order to avoid criticism, and that’s because my eye, likely among many others, finds it to be captivating.

The skin tones that are often too dark to find foundation for are beautiful to me, because it looks as though the person was crafted from obsidian or jet or hematite or onyx. 

People with remarkably dark skin tones can often remind me of gods and goddesses.

“Wretched and Divine”

The album “Wretched and Divine” by The Black Veil Brides is something that I’ve listened to a ridiculous amount of times, but I don’t find any shame in that fact at all really.

The whole work is this huge rock opera surrounded around the concept that is fear. Something there that’s breathing down your neck, that’s there to steal your freedom, and rip your individuality away from you. Along with that factor, there’s also the conquering of fear and stopping it from doing any of those things.

Coming up in 2018 is a brand new album from the same band. I’ve heard that it’s similar to “Wretched and Divine” when it comes to theatrics and a recurring metaphor that reflects the war against fear. 

With both of these albums symbolizing the same thing, it’s helped me gather what the band may or may not be trying to convey, and that is that fear will never die. Ever.

While the Wild Ones, the people who the story was surrounded around, seemed to be victorious against fear, the coming of their return means to me that fear can become quiet, and it can be forced up to the guillotine, but it can never be beheaded. 

The fight against fear is a constant struggle, but “Wretched and Divine” inspires its listeners to fight that battle with ferocity and bravery.

“We Don’t Have to Dance”

One of my favorite artists at the moment is Andy Black. I’m in love with the album “The Shadow SIde,” and even more specifically, the lyrical content in “We Don’t Have to Dance.”

My favorite piece of the song is probably “It’s so nice to meet you, let’s never meet again,” and it might be considered a satirical element, depending on who you ask, but I love how the song captures social anxiety.

The (Main) writer of it,  Andy Black/Biersack talked about it in an interview, and how at parties and other social events, he could entertain people and seem like a fun guy to be around, but on the inside he was panicking and afraid and having to make an effort to hold himself together.

I feel like I can relate to it, because I’m okay on the outside. I’m fun and excitable at parties, and while presenting things to people, I seem like I know everything on the subject, but on the inside I can feel myself about to choke on my own internal panic.

Parallel Universes

Sometimes when things get messed up and I’m sad about it, I remember that theory about parallel universes where each one of them has something different going on. 

And since I didn’t get what I wanted in this one, I know another version of me did. And then I feel happy for them.

Creativity

Today I was watching spongebob with my siblings, and it was that one episode where spongebob was like “I’ve gotta be tha marble, I’ve gotta wash the marble, etc.” 

Anyways, Squidward was teaching him art, he was really good at it despite being a really unconventional with his methods. Then, Squidward told him he was wrong and tried to teach him by the book. And it resulted in him losing all of his talent because he was told to be and create a certain way. 

Which I thought was really sad, because he lost his ability to do great things because of rules. 

I find it kinda funny I got that out of a children’s TV show
