A powerful thing I had to learn as a black girl was to be very picky about when I choose to explain myself. As much as I want to scream to be understood, there are some people and some places that won’t ever care. You HAVE to choose yourself, go where the love is, and let it go.
I buy tickets for events and let my friends know that I'm going. If they are not interested, I don't mind going alone. I realized for the longest time I waited on people to live my life.
