Ditch The Dream And Be A Doer.

There's A Reason I Said I'd Be Happy Alone. It Wasn't 'cause I Thought I'd Be Happy Alone. It Was Because I Thought If I Loved Someone And Then It Fell Apart, I Might Not Make It. It's Easier To Be Alone. Because What If You Learn That You Need Love And Then You Don't Have It? What If You Like It And Lean On It? What If If You Shape Your Life Around It And Then It Falls Apart? Can You Even Survive That Kind Of Pain? Losing Love Is Like Organ Damage. It's Like Dying. The Only Difference Is Death Ends. This, It Could Go On Forever.

I'm A Black Woman Every Day, And I'm Not Confused About That. I'm Not Worried About That. I Don't Need To Have A Discussion With You About How I Feel As A Black Woman, Because I Don't Feel Disempowered As A Black Woman.

I Actually Like Being Alone. I Spend Most Evenings Reading And Taking Long Baths.

The Expected Is What Keeps Us Steady. It's The Unexpected That Changes Our Lives Forever.

I'm Fortunate. I've Always Had Medical Care. I've Always Had Access. I've Never Personally Had To Use A Planned Parenthood. But I Have Many Friends Who Have And Do And Did, And I Think It's Important That That Access Be There For Everyone.
