Kindle Notes & Highlights
That’s how I think of my life, all my wins are lessons and all my failures are lessons that will one day become wins.
I’d try to sleep pretty. I’d put panties on my head, so I don’t mess it up, and I’d sleep pretty.
This was so my sisters and I. Wow 😭❤️
It didn’t feel like anybody gave two fucks about me, unless it was benefiting them.
Unless they was getting paid.
Unless it was making them look good in so...

“He’s ashamed of himself, because he left you when you were three, did nothing for you, and you ended up being very successful without him, and then you buy him stuff. You are not only a better person than he is, but you are kind and responsible where he is not, and you’re providing where he did not. Not just as his child, but as a woman, providing for him. Your goodness holds up a mirror to his ugliness, and that is too painful for him, so he has to project this onto you, by saying you make him feel less about himself. It’s nothing you did. It’s guilt.”
He pulled his foot out and there was shit all over his foot. And the shit was full of corn.
This lady really shat in this man shoes 😭
“Every man is going to think of you as property. That’s why they want to put they last name on your name. Then you’re their property. So you want to make sure whoever you end up with knows how to maintain their property. See yourself as a house. You have to view yourself as the house on the highest part of the hill. You can’t let everybody come into your house. They can’t catch no bus to your house. They can’t ride no bike to your house. They got to have a nice car with four-wheel drive to get up to your house.”
“Don’t be telling people everything that you’re doing, because motherfuckers will try to make you fail. Just do your shit. You ain’t gotta tell everybody you got a movie. Just do the fucking movie, Tiffany. Like don’t tell people where you’re at, because they’re going to come for you. They’re going to come for you. Because people will be trying to do bad stuff. They think bad thoughts, and they jealous, and they will try to fuck you up.”
It’s very important to have your peace.”
I believe in God. And I believe I have a purpose in life. I believe we all do. I believe you do, too.
To show people that no matter what, they matter, and they can succeed. No matter how bad things go, no matter how dark your life is, there is a reason for it. You can find beauty in it, and you can get better. I know, because I’ve done it.
