Propaganda I'm not falling for: That you shouldn't want sparks and passion in your relationship after a certain age. Girl, bye.
Another propaganda I'm not falling for: That Black women shouldn't want and expect romance and grand gestures and fairytale love.
Girl, you're allowed to fall in love during your healing process btw, someone will love the unhealed version of you. you're worthy of love even when you're not the best version of yourself..!
vulnerable and expressive people trigger a lot of folks. it’s not your problem people have never taken space to be brave, bold, and let themselves speak their truth. it’s also not your problem they are exhausted by emotions and being confronted. do it anyway and do it often.
I hope you take the time out to:
• embrace your journey
• give yourself grace for making it to this moment
• remember everything you’ve been through is only making you stronger
• love this version of you as you keep on evolving
• acknowledge how beautiful of person you are
