Where Home Lies

This life that you’re coming into was meant for you. So what happened today was a sure sign that he wasn’t supposed to come into this life with you. When we become who we’re meant to be, we shed the skin of who we were. This may hurt right now, but at some point you're gonna be thanking God he got rid of the dead weight.”

“I say all of that to say, don’t be too eager to take everybody on the journey. Some people ain’t built for the trip.”

“I thought he was my person, but over the last few weeks of feeling this pain, I realized he wasn’t even close. Sometimes when we love people, we only focus on the parts of them we wanna be with, without taking in the whole person.”

“To leave a nigga where he stands. You can’t change anybody, no matter what they tell you.”

You’re free from carrying a nigga on your wings that couldn’t carry himself.

I see shit I ain’t never paid real attention to in you. Then I’d lean over and stick my tongue down your throat because I need you to feel what I’m saying.”

“You love me, Dimitri?” “Since the first fucking minute I laid eyes on you, pretty ass woman.”

“You gotta tighten up, bae. And the next time somebody comes at you with some shit about me, hit them in their shit and tell them God told you to do it.”
