this old lady once said “If you don't spend enough time getting to know yourself you'll end up absorbing everyone else's definition off you” felt this.
Black women can’t do shit actually like I’m noticing a pattern. If we like
Spanish music “you wanna be Hispanic” if we like Korean music “you wanna be Asian” if we like Pop music “you wanna be White” nigga why can’t I just enjoy the fucking music.
i just saw a woman say:
“isn’t it strange that we were taught to fear the witches, but not the men who burned them?”
and honestly… that stopped me in my tracks.
My father’s last words to me before cancer took him were “I won’t see you again.”
Everyone told me otherwise. The doctors. His new wife. My dreadful mother who wedged us apart.
But he whispered this to me as they took me from his side.
And I knew it was true.
I HATE the “someone has it worse” line. There is someone who ALWAYS has it worse. But instead of directing your anger at a world that facilitates those conditions, you direct it at a person asking for help. Go fuck yourselves.
“I grew up around Asians. That’s why I use Asian slurs”
“I grew up around Puerto Ricans. That’s why I use Puerto Rican slurs”
“I grew up around Russians. That’s why I use Russian slurs”
- sentences people only utter when talking about Black people
I hate when my vulnerability is not well received lmao. Like it actually took a lot for me to be that and now I never will again bc you can’t hang, bye 😂
