Getting a kindle changed my life now I can read all the corny self help books I want without people on the bus thinking my life is falling apart
Me on the bus listening to Brene Brown on audio and trying not to look like I’m receiving a revelation.
Brene Brown is the only bitch I will openly read hard copies of in the self help section I will hold my copy of Daring Greatly up high and let this entire bus know this Macy’s denim jacket wearing middle aged Texas white woman is the truth
Back in New Mexico and away from Lagos. Spent the day not checking emails and went back to my old hobby – thrifting. You guys have no idea what it feels like to get away after a year of moving and working and stressing. I’m already a bit twitchy about not having done any work today but I’m going to embrace to break – Yagazie
There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.
i am a forehead kiss hoe…. give me all the forehead kisses in the world. come on. i’m ready.
SO THIS IS THE END.
Or this is the beginning.
If I cut my hair off
and buy new lipstick,
it almost doesn’t feel like
starting over.It feels like emerging.
Like soaking in light.
Like drawing curtains back.
Like pulling myself
out of the bed
for the first time
in two weeks
and showering.Making tea.
Putting away my
coffee cups.

People, all of us, have a tendency to frame our personal narratives in ways that ignore the types of oppression we
don’t experience, and the benefits we reap from them, because we have the luxury of being able to ignore them.A huge part of unlearning oppressive behaviours is just
resisting the impulse to pretend any oppression we personally don’t experience is
irrelevant.
