“I want the cottage. I want the green grass and the tomato plants. I want the peace in you; the front porch rocking chair lullaby; our cricket legs rubbing together under the covers. We can’t have it all. I know that, but humor me. We can’t have it all, but we can have most of it.”

Your impact on other people is bigger than you think. Someone still giggles when they think of that funny thing you said. Someone still smiles when they think of the compliment you gave them. Someone silently admires you. The advice you give has made a difference for people. The support and love you’ve offered others has made someone’s day. Your input and opinions have made someone think twice. You’re not insignificant and forgotten. Your existence makes a positive difference, whether you see it or not.

Black girls deserve fairy tales.

We deserve to be delicate.

We deserve to be swooned and fawned over.

We deserve to be regal.

We deserve to be tender.

We deserve to reclaim all the softness that was taken from us.

Practice not comparing your path to others; focusing on your own path; being thankful for the opportunity you have to shape and create your life. There's so much beauty in that, and it just gets drowned instantly the millisecond you start comparing your life to someone else's.

I hope the universe blesses you with a moment of peace this week. You’re doing the right thing, and you’re going to be okay.

One important lesson I’ve learned is that building healthy relationships with everything in your life is necessary. With time, sleep, yourself, trauma, emotions, habits, family, relationships, etc. Once you find balance, everything else falls into place.

It kind of breaks my heart when people are surprised by kindness. Puts into perspective how often they’re treated poorly by others.
