For if a strong back
and a heavy heart
have taught me anything,
it’s that love does not exist to
lighten our hearts,
love only exists to see
how much we will carry.

perhaps one day
we will meet again
as characters in
a different story,
maybe we’ll share
a lifetime than

Remember this, girl,
you are half sea.
No one ever asks
the ocean to quiet her storm,
so why do you keep
apologizing for yours?

young women in brown culture
In the brown community you literally can’t make no mistakes as a young woman because aunties will insult you as an ‘slut’ and your izath (family name) will be gone.
But one thing they don’t realize is that they’re holding us back from what we aren’t supposed to do. If you are holding us back, we are gonna do it anyways. We are young, we experiment and we make mistakes. The mistakes shouldn’t you define as a person.
But with brown aunties, once you make a mistake. It is with you the rest of the life. When boys do it, its literally no problem because they’re boys.
We need to make mistakes in order to get our lives on the right path. These mistakes makes us an adult. In order to tell our future kids about all the life lessons we had, we have to experience. Our parents can hold us back, but if we don’t make mistakes, what are we gonna tell our kids about? Are we gonna be like the old generation?
We are young, we are growing and we make mistakes. But it shouldn’t define you in the rest of your life.
For my brown girls out there, live your life, don’t fear to make mistakes because one day u will be the woman u always wanted to become.
Even the silence
has a story to tell you.
Just listen. Listen.

Why are women expected to dilute and tone down their personalities to be more appealing to men. Men are never told that they might struggle to get married because they are ‘too much’. They are never too opinionated, too confident, too educated, too passionate, too strong willed… it’s always women who must chip away at their selves to become more soft and easy to stomach and pliable.
That’s how you can tell that you’re filling yourself with the wrong things. You use a lot of energy, and in the end, you feel emptier and less comfortable than ever.

there is very little of me left
to hand out to others.what remains,
i carry with me.
what has departed,
i whisper my farewell.
