by this time next year, i will have the perfect final draft of my book ready to be published. speaking it into existence & praying y’all will keep me accountable

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

you’ll set yourself up for disappointment expecting the same level of emotional intelligence from everyone you cross paths with. whatever exists within you innately, and the experiences you’ve been through, will be unlike anything anyone has felt. some people need time to learn.

march, engulf me in awareness. allow discernment to become a first language. speak to places in me that i may have forgotten about, so i may translate that energy into something that speaks to me more clearly. allow me to see myself in spaces where i don’t feel seen. be bright.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

darling,

maybe you feel homesick because you’ve consistently made a habit of indulging in energy that doesn’t want to stay. when will you see that you are the home that you’ve always needed? stay in your love for some time, warmth exists there.

[billy chapata. @iambrillyant]

see, you’re resilient, but your bones were not built to carry around wars that don’t belong to you. peace won’t find you in someone else’s trauma.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT 👏🏽

I think about the bookshelves I want in my future house all of the time. Floor to ceiling shelves that line an entire wall with one of those ladders attached to them so I can slide and find what i’m looking for

I’m so glad colder weather is so close, not only because of the beautiful scenery but because it’s finally time that I can hide my fat with chunky cardigans and sweatshirts and wear jeans 24/7 w/o being hot 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Let’s make a deal, Mr. President:

You release your college transcript, I’ll release mine, and we’ll see who was the better student.

Loser has to fund the Post Office.

All of the WNBA twitter accounts this season have been bringing awareness to different women who have been murdered by police as part of the Say Her Name campaign.

WNBA always leading the way. I think this is really cool and important.

I hate that we don’t talk about hypersexuality after assault as much. My therapist said for me it was like a subconscious need to give consent, but it never made me feel any less sh*tty. I felt like I was responding “wrong” & I couldn’t be that traumatized if I still wanted sex

@cera_baby ITS TRUE 💛

[hot girl midsommar @verymimi]

a lot of y’all thought “defund the police” was just a cute slogan for your instagram story and it’s showing
