I Was Not Having The Best Day

Blooming Different

A list of things that should no longer be explained in 2019 because y'all have had ample opportunity to Google or listen:

The Black Lives Matter movement 

Representation matters 

Colin Kaepernick wasn’t protesting the anthem 

The validity of different sexual orientations

Non-black people can’t say the N-word

Feminism isn’t about hating men

Pro-black/ celebrating your heritage isn’t anti-white

Blackface isn’t okay

Minimum wage should be raised

Who’s considered a millennial

Feel free to add on

The only thing I have to do

Is be obedient to my maker

houses

I have alot of dreams that take places in houses.

I think my brain compartmentalizes things. 

into rooms and houses. 

Sometimes I travel from house to house. 

in dreams

but weird

what I put in what house

and what is this world that is my brain

what is this map?!

where is everything and have I been to multiple places before. 

im intrigued by the stories my brain tells

and how it sets them

and how it tells them

Only you can love you like you

Only you know what you need to hear

Sure it would be nice if someone else held your hand

If someone held you tight

If you didn’t have to cry from feeling alone

Because you weren’t

But you can be there for you

When you cry

Pick your head up

You can talk yourself up

Tell yourself to get up

You can do it

You can

By yourself

Love yourself like no one else

Love yourself more then a basic person could

Love yourself

Take care of yourself

Love yourself

Take care of yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen to yourself

Trust yourself

Listen when yourself says pick up this book

Pick up this paint brush

Pick up your head

Lift your voice

Focus

Be quiet

Stretch

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

It’s okay

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Youre here

Youre meant to be here

You have a purpose to fulfill

You will be rewarded

It’s okay

Just breathe

Just listen

This moment will pass

You can find peace in this moment

You can be at peace

This moment will pass

You will be at peace

Breathe

Breathe

Breathe

Listen yourself

Only you can love you like you

Only you know what you need

Breathe

I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you

I will care for you

I will make sure you’re okay

I will make sure nothing happens to you

I love you

I sat through a class today where the teacher said,

Discrimination happens. I’m not gonna sit and pretend it doesn’t. But also sometimes you have to decide personally when to speak up and when to ignore it because your here to do your job and you can sit and take the nonsense .

I disagree.

If there’s nonsense then it needs to be stopped.

If there’s discrimination of any kind to any degree, it needs to be acknowledged, addressed, and put to rest.

If you have to walk away from 100 jobs because they’d rather have someone who will sit and take it instead of your courageous and worthy work, then you have to walk away.

In walking away you turn tides.

No walking away you leave your imprint.

Who cares if you can take a punch and keep walking

You don’t have to.

You don’t have to let the next person take it.

If you walk away do it with an impact.

Make it known why you walked away.

Let other people know why you walked away.

If they didn’t correct themselves and try it again, that’s up to the next ones to work out.

But love yourself

God will provide

His will is for you to have the best.

You don’t need to push through if you don’t have to.

You’re a human

And if someone can’t see that, or won’t act like it

They don’t deserve you, your time, your energy, or your work.

Point blank period.

Dead and no way to remember and memorialize them. Gone with no connections, no heirlooms… that shit hurts.

And that is exactly why they didn’t want them reading and writing! They knew that written documents could be used as pieces of history to connect us
