Sometimes I accidentally accept the bare minimum trying to be considerate of what others are going through & that is a habit I need to let go of expeditiously
I know, with increasing precision, what I want my life to contain. Meaningful work. Financial ease. A home that feels expansive and alive. Books everywhere. A table with people around it. Work that travels further than I do. Time to think. Time to write.
A big reason why Black women have issues with wearing their natural hair is because they are trying to cater to the Black male gaze and that's all I'll say on that 🤷🏾♀️
Until all Black people's unpack that beauty standard and update their libidinal desires we shall be stuck here
