Kindle Notes & Highlights
“So, why then is a woman of my age, education, and lack of baggage, as in kids, left with little to no options when it comes to her male counterparts? Why am I overlooked by a man who looks like me, struggles against white supremacy like me and who, despite being the most targeted and disenfranchised civilian in this great country I still love, honor, and support, prefers other than me?”
“My family wasn’t perfect, but we accounted for each other. We were present every day. Our fights were just as predictable as our meals. Our fears were just as identical as our features. We were a unit. I don’t have that anymore. I don’t have anyone.”
“Happiness has come in intervals for me. Not sure if the little I experience is something I’m owed or should expect.”
“My mother. She may not have had a happily ever after, but she swore to me there was one. She told me to hold out for a man who’d love me more than I loved him, and to support him with my last strength. The key would be in getting a man who could lead.”
Why me? Why again? Hadn’t I stomached enough in this lifetime?
