Lived on the dark side of the American dream
We would dance all night, play our music loud
When we grew up, nothing was what it seemed❞EXCERPT OF NYLA SHAFIQ'S JOURNAL - CIRCA 1965
...when i was a child, my mother told me this philosophy and it has stuck with me throughout my entire life: it is always best to be prepared.
now when i was young and up until the point i was married to your grandfather, i didn't really digest what my mother meant. but upon coming to london, meeting all these people and landing myself in circumstances, my mother's words clicked to me.
it is always best to be prepared.
deception becomes second nature, gluttony is prevalent, vanity is everywhere; it's all so inescapable and quite frankly my loves, it's so hard to distinguish genuine nature.
