Find someone who loves you well. Someone who never belittles you. Even in the heat of an argument. Someone who is gentle with you, but does not treat you like you are fragile. Someone who knows what you are capable of, and celebrates those pieces of you. Not someone who is intimidated by your strength. Someone who doesn’t make you feel guilty for being flawed. It is not love’s job to punish you. And remember the person you love is just as broken as you are when they fall short. No one is perfect – do not hold them to this standard. Find someone who is patient, forgiving, and apologetic. Someone who practices forgiveness freely and often. Love someone who is humble, kind, and empathetic. Not only with you, but with a beggar on the street, or a stranger in the supermarket. Common courtesy is important. Compassion is important. Kindness is important.

Do not call me perfect, a lie is never a compliment. Call me an erratic damaged and insecure mess. Then tell me that you love me for it.

And in the end, know your self worth. Beauty is from within, don’t cover yourself up with parts of who people want you to be. God is taking you somewhere. Just be you.

Things you don’t have to apologize for

  • the way you feel about something
  • not wanting to do something that makes uncomfortable
  • saying sorry too much
  • not wearing makeup/being dressed up/doing your hair
  • caring about something 
  • not being happy
  • crying
  • needing help 
  • asking for attention
  • putting yourself first sometimes 
  • your feelings!!

‘You think I don’t know what your life is like just because I ain’t living it? I know what every colored woman in this country is doing.’

‘What’s that?’

‘Dying., Just like me. But the difference is they dying like a stump. Me, I’m going down like one of those redwoods. I sure did live in this world.’
