They shooting the messenger, but she ain’t wrong. Dating and sex were heavily demonized in a lot of our homes. We were told to stay away from boys and focus on school. The problem is that relationships are a skill set too and many Black women were prepared for careers but left to figure out dating, boundaries, and healthy partnership on our own.
Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
Stop letting people consume you. They didn't call? Go to sleep. They didn't message you? Put your phone down and have a better day. They left you on read? Delete the conversation. They didn't make an effort? Match their energy. Never let your happiness depend on anyone.
Y'all having sex before marriage, killing, lying, stealing, working on Sunday, getting tattoos and piercings etc. but always worried about somebody being gay😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Adult friendships are so funny because you really just lose a friend on a random day after realizing you clearly don’t mean anything to this person, while at one point they meant the world to you.
Fortunately, this doesn’t change the price of bread, so good riddance and stuff🤘🏾
Being able to call and depend on a man is a flex. I mean yes I can absolutely handle things on my own but just knowing my life is a little easier because I'm supported and someone always has my back is top tier to me🥺
