"If I gotta glow up on a n*gga, imma make it look sexy" Let's just be real, anyone still struggling to truly accept themselves, their story, their past and their karma- will not respect nor congratulate yours. This is why SELF love and SELF Care are truly important. I've taken great lengths to protect the anonymity of my truest being. Why? Because the world is a scary place and hurt people usually grow on the hurt some more people during their process. I'd like to call that "life". It's the reason my anxiety probed me into changing the name my mother assigned me at birth. This is why I have a hard time responding to Direct Messages and emails-- this is why I'm always fighting for fresh air and comfort. Because my vulnerability does not come without a price. It does not come without personal opinion It is not always met with love- sometimes it's chastisement and screen shots in group text that I don't even know exist. If I worried about all the voices I hear as I walk through the Forrest alone, I'd be driven crazy- my skin would be bad- my hair wouldn't be growing. These squats wouldn't be banged out. These orders wouldn't be shipped. These books couldn't be penned, these plans can't just work themselves out. I have to apply all that I've grown from, to propel me to the next level. You know me as Eryn. My mama knows Me as Khristine, honestly if you're confused by any of it- GOOD! this is my journey and respect it as such. #HonestWomanhood #ErynAmelism #MomBodAppreciationPost #GroupChatThis (at InterContinental San Juan)
