Walking into 2025 with 37 Fragrances published on my website since opening 💪
I opened MY WEBSITE ✨Anata Darling✨ with THIRTY SEVEN UNIQUE FRAGRANCES
In my #FRAGRANCELAB 👛💰
I genuinely cannot stand how older generations say our generation is lazy for not wanting to work a 9 to 5 for the rest of our lives. So here's some perspective. I work 5 days a week, 40 hours a week right? I still can’t even make enough to LIVE ON MY OWN. To pay rent, water, electricity, gas and EAT, I am barely able to afford it. Let alone go to school. I am not able to live. I am surviving.
Ppl get married and have kids bc of tradition and other folks expectations. Not necessarily what they want for themselves. And then they hit their 40s-50s and start spiraling bc they realize they never wanted any of that.
disliking me is valid.
I probably said out loud what every one else tip toes around. accountability feels like an attack when you’re used to receiving a free pass.
Mind you, that’s a micro aggression. Even other black people do it. I had a computer teacher in elementary school that villainized us anytime we used Be. She claimed it wasn’t grammatically correct but aave has its own set of grammar rules. And it’s our cultural tongue.
They make fun of black people’s habitual use of ‘Be’ but yall leave others to their habitual use of ‘like’. Everything has to have ‘like’ in front of it but soon as we sprinkle ‘be’ in there folks pretend they can’t understand what we’re saying 💀
I be listening to people talk and in my head I’m thinking “those are excuses but whatever”. Like people really do be addicted to chaos, confusion and dysfunction
People would rather assume and ultimately misinterpret your behavior instead of just asking what’s up. Folks are not confrontational nor do they have conflict resolution skills so assuming is easier.
I still have not received an answer to this question.
For my Black community: I need for you to explain in detail how Beyoncé or her fans is stopping you from supporting other black artists in any major or significant way.
Coming at me aggressive and then claiming you just wanted a genuine understanding when I bite back is crazy. Nobody genuine is gonna approach you in a hostile manner, let’s start there.
I hate that we've taught people, men in particular, that if we like them enough, we'll inconvenience ourselves regularly for them.
Because I am not going to do that.
Men who manipulate women into sex by pretending they're serious about a relationship are, in my eyes, no different from sexual predators. Dating apps aren't a free escort service
Beyoncé wrote Independent women at 19 by herself and it went to number on the hot 100 11 consecutive weeks
She wrote the song to a Beat created by Production duo Trackmasters & Cory Rooney
So I'm not sure what Ashanti meant but it certainly can't be songwriting
Women give too much grace, too much access, too much love, too much TIME, too much energy, too much forgiveness, too much patience, & too much unearned emotional labor, & all you teach him is his disrespect & bad treatment of you have no real consequences.
Pls stop smiling and agreeing with this kind of discourse when it happens. Tell the person saying this to you to go read a book instead of thinking interrogating you randomly legitimized their uneducated arguments.
You dont have to know everything
