“Write what haunts you. What keeps you up at night. What you are unable to get out of your mind. Sometimes, they are the hardest things to write, but those are often the things worth investigating by you specifically...”

—Edwidge Danticat

[ٰ @moralgrey]

he also once said “i hope this grief stays with me because it’s all of the unexpressed love that i didn’t get to tell her” and i think that’s so beautiful because really, what is grief if not love persevering

"My Clair Huxtable hair had morphed into a pinned-up afro decorated with random strands of my dog’s hair—a style I only took down once or twice a week. I looked like what I’d been through."

"When Granny died, she got her wish. We were twins again.

I did her hair like mine—or rather, I did my hair like hers."

In supporting our loved ones, may we remember to read the room. Folks ain’t got the strength to manage their diagnosis AND other people’s “stuff.” If ya can’t muster up enough strength to be encouraging, then just go somewhere and pray.
