So you mean to tell me that someone down your ancestry line survived being chaıned to other human bodięs for several months in the bottom of a disease-infested ship during the Middle Passage, lost their language, customs and traditions, picked up the English language as best they could while working free of charge from sun up to sun down as they watched babies sold from out of their arms and women rapęd by ruthless sIave owners.
Took names with no last names, no birth certificates, no heritage of any kind, braved the Underground Railroad, survived the Civil Wąr to enter into sharecropping... Learned to read and write out of sheer will and determination, faced the burning crosses of the KƘK, everted their eyes at the black bodies swinging from ropes hųng on trees...
Fought in World Wąrs as soldiers only to return to America as boys, marched in Birmingham, hosed in Selma, jailed in Wilmington, assassinated in Memphis, segregated in the South, ghettoed in the North, ignored in history books, stereotyped in Hollywood...
and in spite of it all, someone in your family line endured every era to make sure you would get here, but you receive one rejection, face one obstacle, lose one friend, get overlooked, and you want to quit?
How dare you entertain the very thought of quitting. People, you will never know, survived from generation to generation so you could succeed. Don’t you dare let them down!
It is NOT in our DNA to quit!
Thanks @uhaul for leaving me stranded on the highway since 7:05pm. Be careful renting a car trailer. This is the second one in 2 days. The first one had an axel shift. The uhaul roadside assistance decided to take other calls on the way to replace the tire. #refundMeAllmymoney
I really matured. I don't care to argue. I don't fw drama. I'm really just chilling. I pray for the people who did me wrong. I'm not seeking revenge bc l'll always be blessed regardless! All I care about is my peace, making money & taking care of my loved ones. Be blessed
I coulda got my lick back on a few of yall but I had to realize yall was the losers already. Life whooping yall ass thats why i'm so quiet now. THERE’S ALWAYS A BIGGER PICTURE. & don't try to make a mess in someone’s life & think yours is going to go smoothly bc Karma is real! ☺️
Trauma makes you tolerate a lot of shit you don't deserve because you're too busy putting other people's feelings above your own. Healing makes you realize some people don't deserve to be in your life, no matter how much you love them.
I love a mf that’s INTO me. Like can’t keep they hands off me, can’t wait to talk to me, wants to take me places, buy me gifts, kiss on me, love on me, cuddle me, plan dates, & most importantly help each other reach our full potential 🥹🥰🦋
we need more love in this life. more affection. more emotional availability. more compassion. more grace. more pause before reaction. more being seen and understood. more acceptance. that’s what i want in my life
May things get better.
May our troubles end.
May we see the good.
May we walk in confidence.
May we let go.
May we begin again.
May we continue on.
May we experience joy.
May we have peace.
May we give and receive more love.
