“Black Women, in particular, are so well socialized to push ourselves past healthy limits that we often do not know how to set protective boundaries that would eliminate certain forms of stress in our lives”

- bell hooks, Sisters of the Yam, 1993 (pg. 40-42)

Bell Hooks

[vasthibunyan]

BELIEVING IN DIVINE love comforted me as a child when I felt overwhelmed by loneliness and sorrow. The solace of knowing I could speak my heart to God and the angels made me feel less alone. They were there with me during anguished and terrifying dark nights of the soul when no one understood. They were there with me, listening to my tears and my heartache. I could not see them but I knew they were there. I heard them whispering to me about love’s promise, letting me know all would be well with my soul, speaking to my heart in a divinely sweet secret language.

bell hooks, all about love
