Huey Newton gave a speech in 1970 addressing the Women’s Liberation and Gay Liberation Networks. I think about that speech nearly every day. In it, he says: 

Friends are allowed to make mistakes. The enemy is not allowed to make mistakes because his whole existence is a mistake, and we suffer from it. But the women’s liberation front and gay liberation front are our friends, they are our potential allies, and we need as many allies as possible.

Newton and other members of the Black Power struggle recognized that movements need allies and that the way you treat a friend who has made a mistake should be fundamentally different from how you treat an enemy. 

I would extend this to say that we need to understand that within our own movements, individual groups have different roles to play. The most successful social movements often have radical, progressive, and moderate flanks. We need to recognize our own strategic advantages – where are you best suited to fight? To the streets or to the workplace or local office? Find your work, do it, and do not fight your enemies in other flanks. Yes, we should hold each other accountable and try to have democratic forms of disagreement. However, the way to do that is not through public cancellations or social media pile-ons. The way to do that is through conversation and good faith engagement, one that starts from recognizing that we have some of the same goals.

In a world of colors, vibrant and bright, I dip my brush, and my heart takes flight. With each stroke and swirl, the canvas sings, A symphony of joy, like butterfly wings. I mix and blend, the hues come alive, In this wondrous dance, I truly thrive. The sun's warm kiss, the ocean's embrace, In every stroke, I find my place. In the realm of art, I find my truth, A world where dreams and passions soothe. With every creation, my spirit soars, In vibrant colors, my heart implores.

This quote serves as a gentle reminder that even when we make choices that seem wrong or lead us astray, they can ultimately guide us to the right places in our lives. Embrace the notion that every experience, whether perceived as positive or negative, holds valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Instead of dwelling on regrets or what-ifs, shift your perspective to see these moments as stepping stones on your unique journey. Trust that life has a way of guiding you to where you're meant to be, even if the path may be unclear at times. Embrace the beauty of serendipity, and be open to the possibilities that arise from unexpected turns. Remember that growth often comes from moments of discomfort and uncertainty. Cherish the wisdom gained from your experiences, and let them shape you into the resilient, courageous individual you are today. As you navigate through life's choices, trust your intuition, listen to your heart, and have faith that even the detours can lead to extraordinary places. Embrace the beauty of the unknown, for it is through these unplanned adventures that you may discover your true purpose and find moments of profound joy. So, dear adventurer, let go of the need for control and surrender to the serendipity of life. Embrace the magic of unexpected journeys and the hidden treasures that await you along the way. 🌟✨

It's almost the full (wolf) moon in Leo♌️🌕🐺

This is a reminder to keep going. We've only just gotten started, and there's still a long way to go🧗‍♀️

Whatever the motivation is, dangle that carrot (goal)🥕 in front of you to keep you moving forward. It doesn't matter the reason as long as there's some forward momentum happening.👣👣

Eventually, you will find your path🛣 so keep fighting through the pain😫, It's only temporary compared to the long-term effects. I promise you that you won't regret investing in yourself to receive what you deserve (happiness)🤲💖🥰

Sometimes you have to be your own hero coz no one is coming to save you😣

FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE!!! The world needs heroes(you) right now🦸🏼‍♂️🦸‍♀️ (we're fighting a spiritual war that we're not even aware of)

Don't give up yet! Stay strong! 🫂💪🧠🫀🙏🙏🙏

Finally getting somewhere in my life after so many years of falling down. I got sober, got my associates as of this summer, and am starting dental assisting while waiting to get excepted into dental hygiene. Sometimes you fall a million times and ‘waste’ a lot of time just to finally get to where you want to be, because without those hurdles, I wouldn’t be and appreciate where I am today.

Making Waves.

While still not sure What direction I want to head

I'm 100% certain The one I'm going now

Is infinitely better Than the one I was going previously

While I'm not entirely happy with it There's always options

Where before, after a while, I wouldn't have had any

You have to lose yourself to find yourself

[discount-walter-white]

You aren't a train, tracks are poor choice

Your blood is a stain, yours is God's voice

You hold your own cross, your efforts are clear

The burden is a loss, your heart wont hold fear

My steps have held to your paths;my feet have not stumbled.

Ps.17.5

"Amidst the shadows, we find our way, In transformation's dance, where dreams hold sway. Through the path unknown, we boldly roam, Becoming more than we've ever known."
