I have a headcannon that me and @moon-storm aren’t even human but are all powerful beings that reside in the void who really only care for few others then each other

She looks strong because she is strong. She is also sad, she is also joyful.

She grieves in one breath the hardships of the world, and breathes out the calm and love she has to give.

And when she has none to give, she breathes in the love that someone else has offered her, an offering that is simple and also enormous.

She goes about her day, reapplies her lipstick when it's faded, and smiles.

Myself. My self. That's the problem. That's the whole problem with the whole thing. That word, "self." That's not the word. That's not right, that isn't… That isn't. How did I forget that? When did I forget that? The body stops a cell at a time, but the brain keeps firing those neurons. Little lightning bolts, like fireworks inside, and I thought I'd despair or feel afraid, but I don't feel any of that. None of it. Because I'm too busy. I'm too busy in this moment. Remembering. Of course. I remember that every atom in my body was forged in a star. This matter, this body is mostly just empty space after all, and solid matter? It's just energy vibrating very slowly and there is no me. There never was. The electrons of my body mingle and dance with the electrons of the ground below me and the air I'm no longer breathing. And I remember there is no point where any of that ends and I begin. I remember I am energy. Not memory. Not self. My name, my personality, my choices, all came after me. I was before them and I will be after, and everything else is pictures, picked up along the way. Fleeting little dreamlets printed on the tissue of my dying brain. And I am the lightning that jumps between. I am the energy firing the neurons, and I'm returning. Just by remembering, I'm returning home. And it's like a drop of water falling back into the ocean, of which it's always been a part. All things… a part. All of us… a part. You, me and my little girl, and my mother and my father, everyone who's ever been, every plant, every animal, every atom, every star, every galaxy, all of it. More galaxies in the universe than grains of sand on the beach. And that's what we're talking about when we say "God." The one. The cosmos and its infinite dreams. We are the cosmos dreaming of itself. It's simply a dream that I think is my life, every time.  But I'll forget this. I always do. I always forget my dreams. But now, in this split-second, in the moment I remember, the instant I remember, I comprehend everything at once. There is no time. There is no death. Life is a dream. It's a wish. Made again and again and again and again and again and again and on into eternity. And I am all of it. I am everything. I am all. I am that I am.

Today I allow the universe to flow through me unrestricted. I accept I am the universe itself, and I do not hide from the infinite within me.

Black Women Can Be Everything Because We Are Everything!

I just really want more shows where black female characters of all shades and sizes are not portrayed as ghetto, mistresses/side-chicks, unlovable sub-humans.  We are intelligent, successful, wives, mothers, sisters, best friends, warriors and much more, we are not just one thing, we are everything and we deserve love. 

I am just sick and tired of black women on television being portrayed as overly flawed caricatures of the real thing, looking at you Shonda Rhimes.  Shout out to all the television shows who know our worth and display it!
