i had a best friend forever. it lasted until the end of high school. we’re still on good terms but she goes to school 200 miles away and both of us have moved on to other things.

i had a great idea of what i wanted tattooed on me forever. three years later i don’t know what i was thinking and i can’t stand the idea that it used to represent me: a little white butterfly in a cage. what a sad thing to hang on to permanently.

my father was supposed to love me forever, but it only really lasts until he’s angry again. i’ve gotten used to being a disappointment.

she asks me if i will love you forever and my heart stops because what if i jinx it what if i get it wrong i want this to be for always but every time i get attached to something it melts in my hands i don’t know what to do i don’t know what to say what if i try to make this forever and it just makes you go away

Launched last month, Wafrica — Africa plus wa for Japan — has unveiled a range of kimono handcrafted in an array of African cotton fabrics that would seem to be a million miles from the subtle silks more commonly associated with traditional Japanese dress. Yet despite the orange comets and flashes of lightning tearing across a moss-green background, and the tribal swirls in colors that recall the sun-drenched African soil, the prints blend seamlessly into the kimono form before they surprise Japanese shoppers with their foreign origin.

The cultural cocktail is the brainchild of Serge Mouangue, a Tokyo-based concept- car designer for Nissan, who joined forces with Kururi, a Tokyo-based kimono- maker, to produce the traditional Japanese attire in 18 African prints sourced in markets from Nigeria to Senegal.
