Black girls like me, we don't get to be tired, soft and confused. We get told to pray it away, shake it off or act like it never happened. I don't want to be 'strong' if it means suffering in silence. Self to self - I am so proud of you of breaking the curse for your inner child. I love you 🥺 - ThreadSky

I’m so proud of you for breaking the cycle. It takes a lot of strength, and courage.

I am proud of you too, sister.

I stopped talking to my parents about my life because of the default "never let them see you sweat/pray about it answers" too. We can get better, even if that means leaving others behind. We do not have to parrot our models. Peace.

Right there with you. Learning to not listen to the voice in my head that they nailed in there. Tough but worth it. Far fewer panic attacks, that's for sure.
