Black women have to become fierce about their respect and boundaries because people will willingly cross them knowing that most of society will find an excuse for their mistreatment
You gotta carry yourself in a way that people don't even feel comfortable approaching you with bullshit. Make your standards clear without saying a word.
Being in your 30s is realizing you can actually just... leave. The relationship. The friendship. The room. The situation. You don’t need to stay anywhere that doesn’t feel good anymore.
One thing I wish women would stop romanticising is suffering as proof that you’re a good woman. Struggling with a man does not make the love more real 😭
