It would be me to run into a Monk at the Pride parade yesterday. But why he had a book I’ve been looking for and couldn’t find. 😩 I got the book now tho 😏💃🏾
I love that I do not fake no funk. If I don’t like something I just do not like it & will not pretend like I do. Authenticity radiates through me at all times
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
