starting to think about happiness as something that could be attained every day instead of something you chase for years and years until the conditions are absolutely perfect

I think that a lot of black women feel like because we’re seen as the least desirable even in our own community, that we should be grateful to receive anything given to us. If we even try to raise our standards we’ll be seen as “asking for to much” so we settle for even lower than less ( half ass dates, cheating, multiple baby mamas, etc).

There’s this mentality that black women have to struggle, that we have to continuously take bullshit from people, that we have to take insults from people especially people from our community, and I’ve started to notice ever since black women have started to uplift themselves more, realise there worth and what they deserve, people come out of nowhere trying to put BW back in a box.

So many people benefit from the low self-esteem and suffering of black women. They use terms like “ride or die” “loyal” as some sort of reward or trophy to congratulate you for staying in the struggle. We’re conditioned to believe we’re made to struggle and accept mediocrity, and if we try deviating from that conditioning there is always black men and women (sadly) trying to put you back in the position of suffering.
