“I am deliberate and afraid of nothing” ~ Audre Lorde
- A little girl grabbed my hand and stopped me on my walk today. She said “Help me! A man has been following me and I’m trying to get home”. I walked her home and I’ve felt a deep fear since.
- Replying to @BeingUpileShe was 12 and a grown man was yelling profanities at her because she was ignoring his catcalling. He was literally running after her.
- Replying to @BeingUpileThis poor baby was terrified. I was terrified and angry for her.
- I really thought I’d die from the grief but then another day came and then another and another still.
- I am fully ready to release myself from the desire of romantic partnership. Men have shown me nothing but misery. I give up unreservedly and enthusiastically.
- Please be very serious about your joy.
- my daughter wears my smile and it makes me glad. she looks like everything I have ever loved about myself.
- Every single time I bend my own rules it comes back to slap me in the face. I must learn to listen to and respect myself.
- Lately I’ve grown really fond of starting over. This is my life to do with as I please.
- You recover. Things get good again.
- I’ve really bowed out from some friendships I thought I’d keep forever.
- I grieved that love like it were a dead thing. I grieved it drunk and regretful. I grieved it angry and tired. I grieved it out of myself.
