I'm A Black Woman Every Day, And

You Never Know The Biggest Day Of Your Life Is Your Biggest Day, Not Until It’s Happening. You Don’t Recognize The Biggest Day Of Your Life, Not Until You’re Right In The Middle Of It. The Day You Commit To Something Or Someone. The Day You Get Your Heart Broken. The Day You Meet Your Soul Mate. The Day You Realize There’s Not Enough Time Because You Wanna Live Forever. Those Are The Biggest Days. The Perfect Days.

Most Of The Women I Saw On Tv Didn't Seem Like People I Actually Knew. They Felt Like Ideas Of What Women Are.

Making It Through The Ceiling To The Other Side Was Simply A Matter Of Running On A Path Created By Every Other Woman's Footprints.

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.
