my mother, who for years would grab every strand on my head brush-comb-braid my face single expressioned under eyebrows arched running up off my forehead--calls me savage. prays daily that god bless some manners down my crooked spine-striaghten my sensibility so that she can rest in peace. “i know i didn’t birth you wild, didn’t raise you untamed” she says. “i never taught you to be this way”... as she catches me twirling my mane in front of the mirror at 5, elbows caked in mudd at 8, sneaking out into the night at 15, medicine bag of weed at 24. She looks at me, searching for answers as her eyes leak--throws her head back, and then echoes of cackling rise up from her throat and fill my ears as I laugh with her.

if almost all the harms take place in the dark~ accountability-apologies in the light.

remembering how difficult of a place LA can be, how much support is needed from friends. how much it feels like if you set a boundary about not being fuckable then you put yourself at risk of so many other dangers.

cafuné

(verb) In our list of most romantic words, cafuné is the intimate act of gently running your fingers through your lover’s hair. This untranslatable Brazilian Portuguese word describes the affection of one of the sweetest moments, filled with pleasure and romance, in its purest form for all lovers. (via jasminvoegtate)

huh… 

American school books are far from accurate, or even true. Lots of omissions and falsehoods.

i feel like i fall in love with people when they expose their self-reflection, letting go of ego and pride is so attractive, transparency, revealing a process of how and what things are being thought out feels like two contained bodies opening up their barriers for the deepest creative and erotic connections.

so here goes:

what i want to work on–

letting go of being right about the one being wronged. that is not important. what is actually important in the frustration and anger is wanting support, is wanting to feel secure in the commitment to labor, and knowing that there is a shared desire for things to work out, and a shared interest in a horizontal effort to get to that place of things having worked out. instead of lashing out and rubbing my anxieties onto someone else, i can voice that i am worried, and would like to address certain needs. practicing centering the root of stress, anxiety, etc…can lead to constructive co-creating and shared strategies towards absolving conflicts rather than derailing by centering reactionary behavior.
