i require gentleness in this season. care, kindness, and consideration. genuineness, honesty, and upliftment. warmth, grace, and affection. in the midst of many transitions, softness is the support i need right now.
i wasted a lot of energy over the years staying in spaces where i thought, if i could just show to this person or these people my light and my heart and value, they’d reciprocate the energy.

showing more patience for what hasn’t come yet, showing more gratitude to what has already arrived.
finding more grace in the mistakes i made in the past, finding even more softness in the ones i am yet to make.

Those men were at the constitutional convention on stolen land writing about "freedom" while eating meals prepared by the human beings they owned. Some chewed and swallowed that food with teeth stolen from someone else's mouth. And we were taught in school to call them "fathers."
Our elders have lived way too long & have overcome way too much to be racially executed at the grocery store.
My heart is heavy & my soul is disturbed.
Happy Mother’s Day to all but especially the single moms, the grandmas who mother their grandbabies, and the moms of queer and trans folks who truly love their children unconditionally. Y’all deserve the world.
me six years ago, creating an account: haha, yes! this security question is PERFECT. no one will be able to figure this out
me today, trying to get into said account for the first time in three years: ok man what the fuck
if they somehow made "performing entirely empty and embarrassingly self serving gestures of solidarity" into an Olympic sport, Americans sweeping all three medals unfortunately
I get annoyed when people move around crazy. Slamming doors. Stomping around. Throwing stuff on the ground. Like yo where did you grow up? The fucking UFC?! You acting like Juggernaut for no reason.
