What to say when you don't know what to say
What you have to say is what the world needs to hear - right now. Things will never get better if the ugly truth stays in the shadows. No amount of spiritual bypassing will ever make our shameful past go away. You can't "love and light" this shit out of existence nor can you LOA it out of the DNA of our sister of color.
Message to Self (and maybe you, too)
You already have everything you need.
It's all inside you.
Listen to your soul.
Honor your purpose.
Live your passion.
Step into the fire.
Burn it all down so you can rise up into who you are meant to be.
Save yo self (nobody is coming to your rescue)
I kept praying for that lightening bolt of inspiration, the flash that changes everything. That, in an instant, I would be shaken so hard that my very core would be altered.
I mistakenly believed that change happens in a single moment.
That's not how this works.
On being bold
Be bold. Be courageous. Be uncomfortable. It is not your responsibility to keep others safe. To keep them from being triggered. To feed their numbness.
