Maybe you should trust the missed connections, the calls gone unanswered, the opportunities that had every reason to work out but didn’t. Maybe you should trust in the small signs before they become big ones. Maybe you should trust those tiny contractions, the nights that exhaust you and the people who don’t see you and the places that make you feel that subtle uneasiness. Maybe you should learn to trust in what passes you by so you’ll begin to trust in what lands right in front of you. Maybe you should trust that in what isn’t working, because it might be trying to guide you to what will.

Read more. Cook more. Listen more. Create more. Hydrate more. Get out in nature more. Forgive yourself more. Challenge yourself more. Work on your craft more. Invest in yourself more. Compliment others more. Celebrate small wins more. Dance and sing more. Live your life more.

The lack of respect was the closure. The lack of apology was the closure. The lack of care was the closure. The lack of accountability was the closure. The lack of honesty was the closure.

Say it with me:

I love myself through transition and discomfort. I love myself through the times I stumble. I love myself through my mental health episodes. I love myself through times of loss and grief. I love myself through every stage of growth.

Stop demonizing black women for being passionate

at dinner people were talking about how much they cried during their weddings and my one cousin said she was SO determined not to cry, made it through the entire ceremony, but then during the reception her husband leaned over and asked 'hey, do you want me to get together a plate of roast beef and hide it in our room so we can have Night Meats?' and she went 'night meats?' and started sobbing because that was so romantic to her
