Brown, A’rikka Dion

Love. Accept. Repeat.

Briana Gause

I’m not okay

I quit my job because a brand new employee made a racist comment and I was sexually harassed as in the same day.

I quit because I was made uncomfortable. Because I do not want to live in fear. I want to be safe.

I made an announcement about it because I wanted other people to know that this was happening and this was not okay.

Everyone told me how proud they were and what steps I should take next to deal with it .

But no one asked if I was okay.

And actually I think one or two people did and my response was yes!

Because I handled it and everyone was proud of me.

But no I am not okay.

I didn’t need to be reminded of every other assault or harassment I was subjected to.

I didn’t need my ptsd to kick in

I didn’t need to be reminded that not everyone sees me as a human and I should be aware of my facticity.

Yea I did the right thing but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

And it still happened.

Galaxies sparkle

They dance and shimmer

Slide and skate

Stars beam across worlds

Sharing their light

Their energy

Moving constantly

Somersaulting through voids of space

Like a child

Like a breeze

Like water

But it’s light

Energy

Felt but not seen

Corrupting darkness

Emulating

Illuminating

Exuding

Preciousness

The fragility and strength of that energy

Can build and destroy

Light that gives warmth to dust

Dust under pressure form rocks

Through manipulation

Intricate timing

And chance

Galaxies bear the the constant pleasure and pain of life.

I can’t tell how I feel about this. But the editing has convinced me it’s worth the share

I hate the internet. 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽

None of these are the same color

5/26/18

We use each other to move each other

We push and pull

Till we’re both fulfilled

I speak you listen

You guide I follow

You challenge me to be it all

You challenge me to be my best self

I inspire you I think

I challenge you to see a different point of view

I challenge you to be great

You love me

Purely

You love me in a way I’ve never seen before

You loved me as God Loves us all

You loved me unconditionally.

You never forget about me. I always said I was a Christian, but I saw God when I met you.

You were always there when I needed.

You didn’t know I needed you but you knew to call.

I didn’t always know I needed you but I was always glad when you called.

You are always patient with me

You give me the space to be

You make me want to

Your spirit gives me permission to open up

Your being gave me the encouragement to want to be free.

I always wanted to meet someone

I could grow with

And here I am

catching myself bloom

I always said I was a Christian

But I never met God until I met you

One day you said I love you

and it felt like the most comforting words. I felt accepted.

It felt so Pure

You said you loved me and I believed you

you said it again and again

And I couldn’t breathe

you thanked God for making me

and I thanked God for making you.

One day you said you didn’t love me

Because of how I looked or what I could do. You didn’t love me because I made you feel a certain way

You said you loved me because you loved God

You said you loved me simply because you do.

Your spirit saw mine and they grew and glowed.

They loved each other

We brightened each other’s lights

I saw God in you and it brought to life the God in me.

I’ve heard that words 1,000 times

That God is Love

But I never knew those word till the Day you said them

I had never met God until I met you

Reblogging once again. I didn’t hear myself the first time. I was sitting in the back. I’m working my way to the front of the room so I can get the message loud and clear ✌🏾
