*whispers* i just quit my job. i couldn’t do it anymore. every morning i woke up to go, i had to give myself a pep talk to get out of bed. and pep talks during my shift. i was really starting to not like myself bc i settled for something that was sucking the life out of me.

nothing triggers you more than romantic relationships. i’m convinced. but someone said that we must find who we’ll feel safe enough to work through it all with. someone who creates space for you to unravel.

i don’t think ppl really sit & think about the gravity of romantic relationships before choosing to be in them. this shit ain’t trivial. love isn’t something you play with. it really is a garden. it’s intricate intentionality and care. you have to know what you need/can give.

our ancestors cut their heads off with machetes, poisoned the food they were forced to cook for them, etc. but that’s not common knowledge. only the nonviolent parts of the civil r mvmt are — which is by design. so i urge folks to stop using that phrase. we’ve always resisted.
