Not that we shouldn’t look at ourselves and love who we see in the mirror, that isn’t the issue.

Loving myself, loving my Blackness, as where it is still a struggle together, has been the most revolutionary act of defiance. 

I’d like to believe that love feels better than this.

Find a balance between happily alone and happily together.

Sexualizing me held more importance than respecting my sexuality.

I wasn’t ok, and the path I was walking was guided by loneliness and not love.
