“Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best,and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”

“

‘How can he not love your hair? It’s the same that grows out of his own armpits. The same hair that crawls up out of his crotch on up his stomach. All over his chest. The very same. It grows out of his nose, over his lips, and if he ever lost his razor it would grow all over his face. It’s all over his head, Hagar. It’s his hair too. He got to love it.’

‘He don’t love it at all. He hates it.’

‘No he don’t. He don’t know what he loves, but he’ll come around, honey, one of these days. How can he love himself and hate your hair?’

”

“a black woman

can write of

loneliness

or

love

or softness,

or the moon.

you may try valiantly

to cripple her,

but she will still grow flowers in her flesh.”

"broken" by s.jones

Genes are not binding

When love is never present

Traits may be visible

But disdain is never hidden

Forgotten moments

Long overdue

Moving on

Through.
