Full of Myself Quotes

“I imagine they found me to be quite mean. And I love that for myself. Once upon a time”
― Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-Possession

“My body remembers trauma. It remembers tears and
grief. It remembers rage and anger, danger and pain. But I
believe it also remembers joy. I believe it also remembers
healing. If my body is keeping the score, it is calculating not
only what went wrong but what has been beautiful and
inviting and thrilling and bursting with love. I am writing the
story of myself, and I'll be damned if there won't be more
romances and more adventures and more solidarity-and,
yes, more justice work. But this time, it will be rooted in the
life I want for myself. If I am to be undone by life, let it be a
beautiful undoing.”
― Austin Channing Brown, Full of Myself: Black Womanhood and the Journey to Self-Possession
