JHS class WhatsApp group will be quiet for some months and all of a sudden. “Good morning members of this noble group , our sister Gift okyere has lost her d@d and we are all going to contribute 50 cedis for the funeral. Thank you ”
Some people are natural criers. They cry when excited, they cry in grief, they cry in laughter, they cry in rage, they literally cry at any slight emotional experience or state. This is how their bodies process experiences in real time. And, that’s okay, it's who they are.
I received a series of rejections this week. It hurts, i won’t deny it. When I started to internalize them, I called one of my bros and he helped me remember that I’m so much more than any opportunity or accomplishment. In short it’s okay to let your folks know when youre down ❤️
Crazy because we were just talking about NOT commenting on people's appearance (i.e., Chadwick Boseman, Virgil), etc bc we never know what people are going through health-wise or personally, and now y'all mad bc someone got slapped for making jokesabout someones appearence.
Grief is so weird because it visits you during moments of victory and joy to remind you of its dominance— grief finds you with a champagne glass in your hand about to toast your win & it asks, don’t you wish they were still alive to celebrate with you? Then deep sadness sets in.
