the workings of my mind

[golden-nails]

I am suicidal. Not a day goes when I don't think about how my life could end. Most days I fantasize about just getting in a frwak accident and going away. That way my family will be more at peace than it would be if I wore to kill myself. But do not worry. I am safe. Yes I harm myself at times, but nothing much serious. It's like not eating for a day, or taking one ibuprofen more than the recommended range. You know something that'll harm me in long run.

What's my concern at this point is - how do I end this? It's not healthy. When you wait for someone to get out of the house and don't really wait for them to come back, it can't be healthy l, can it? Our ideas of fun differs. I was enjoying so much today when he just decided to go away. I wish I could just go away. I could just disappear. Everyone would be better off without me.

I sometimes wish my life ends let me what pretty Didi's did, except I don't want papa there. That would kill him, which would kill ma and leave Didi all alone. But the truth is Didi will never be alone. She has an amazing support system. Ali is wonderful. Ali is the best.

It's my birthday next week. You know, I never thought i'd live for more than 25, but it's my 26th next week. My life is falling apart at this point. I am 26. Without a job. Without a source of income. Living off my retire father and soon to retire mother. I want it all to end.

I do think it is important to note that 90% of Black and brown characters in comics were created by white people. Through the years white writers and writers of color have dealt with characters of color, giving them depth or fucking them up.

This being said, the interpretation by Black fans and fans of color are more important to me than the white creators. There is a deeper meaning behind a bullet proof Black man and an African nation untouched by colonialism, surpassing western nations at every single thing. Down to the hair they are drawn with to their features/skin tone, these things are important to how we consume these characters and approach them.

This is why it’s so upsetting to see our stories being told wrong or having characters say so obviously white opinions i.e. Miles denying his importance as a Black superhero. While Black people and comic readers come from all walks of life, have various opinions, and different understandings, we know when a Black character is authentic. We can see the importance where white readers or even the characters themselves don’t see.

I believe that this is due in part to the fact that we are given the bottom of the barrel representation and for them to work as something relatable to us, we analyze them in a completely different cultural context.

So yes your white faces can’t rule Wakanda because that defeats the point of it. Making Sam the Avengers’ sidekick/therapist is racist, even if the creators portray him as nothing more. Sidelining Claire in Dare Devil is important. Drawing Storm with euro typical features and light skin is important. The backlash against a Black Mary Jane or Asian Poison Ivy is important.

White fans can understand why comics and movies are so important, do an hour long videos dissecting a twenty page book, but can’t understand it in the context for Black fans and fans of color. It shows a total lack of empathy and it’s ironic that the nerd community that is so obsessed with how they were treated for being nerds turn to virulent racists.

Why does no one recognize the KKK as an actual terrorist group??? As an actual WHITE and CHRISTIAN and AMERICAN terrorist group?? Is it because they’re white? Is it because they’re Christian? Is it because they’re American? Or is it all three? Hm……….Guess we’ll never know………………

Don’t let excitement make you announce things prematurely. Be silent until you’re sure; & even when you’re sure, don’t give too much away.

I really gotta learn to follow this

I was sad the other day as someone told me they loved me. And I said ‘No, you don’t. Not really.’ And today I told someone I loved them. And they said ‘No, you don’t.’ And it f**king sucks to hear that. Especially when you mean it. Don’t do that to someone. Don’t do what I did.
