Yahweh, hear my lament - Or should I say, hear my vent. I'm seeing that it's so challenging for me to balance being a queen and a human. All I did was acknowledge that I was overwhelmed and tired - Tired of me going through a pattern of being unbothered one day and bothered the next. I even prayed to you that my former friend will find it in his heart to recognize his wrongs, hold himself accountable, come back to me as a man and make amends, And for him to get into a healing process - I even believed that it'll take him reaping what he's sown in order for him to find it in his heart to right his wrongs, come back to me, and make amends - and yet -
Did you see that Karen who had the audacity to tell me that I "shouldn't have any problems" - All because I'm a black woman? The disrespect! Of course, I ain't believed those hurtful things she said! I just felt disrespected - as a human being! When are folks ever gonna gain some empathy about why this "strong black woman thing" - is exhausting??
Yah, I'm aware that almost every sista know what it's like to face those who disregard our human dignity - But how long will people GET AWAY with disregarding our human dignities?
Oh, Yah, please don't let that internet Karen be in any mindfulness community with that negative energy she tried to bring me! We both know she lacks empathy - Empathy about the fact that sistas being queens and Healing Girls come with lots of difficulties! We both know it's challenging for us sistas to remain queens in such times like this!
A/N: Hey, beautiful queens! How was your day?
