Note to self: look at new growth on plants when sad. It’ll make you happy and appreciate life.

I keep dreaming that I get messages from you like everything is normal. Low key pathetic.

Honestly, I don’t know why or how I keep finding people who end up not making time for me. I get so invested so fast. I wait and wait. If they wanted to talk, they would.

I hate that I need to text people all the time 😭😭😭😭😭 I feel so empty when my phone isn’t going off

Is it normal to feel friend clingy? Makes me feel gross that I feel some type of way not having the same energy reciprocated. 🙂

This could mean the difference between staying healthy and getting cancer for a lot of people. Damn!

This is important for many with autoimmune diseases because most of the medicine - in addition to the diseases themselves- cause severe photosensitivity.

Black people regardless of skin tone should pay attention to this too. The UV rays are much stronger now than they were when you were younger, everyone needs to wear sunscreen.

Also keep in mind doctors aren’t trained on spotting skin cancer signs on black skin, so use sunscreen please!!

In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.

In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.

Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.

Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.

My mom has fairly severe respiratory issues and is recovering from joint replacement; her PT told her the same info about sleeping/sitting positions and how they impact the lungs. Fascinating.
