Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future. In other words, if we’re going to be more cheerful in the future, it’s because of our aspiration and exertion to be cheerful in the present. What we do accumulates; the future is the result of what we do right now.

A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. - Marcus Garvey.

Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men.

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.

What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.

all safe places we find crumble in the shadow of our hacked divine contracts

like the reflection of Isis in the teardrop of a wolf

fragments of potential energetically glued to the confines of the hexagon

clues hypnotized to be clueless

we really have to normalize mental health issues. because the majority of the black folk i know are struggling with some kind of mental illness, and yet each person feels like we have to carry that burden alone. and if we normalized mental health care, like taking meds and having a therapist and needing to take a mental health day, more people would feel comfortable prioritizing self care because we can feel like we’re not the only ones.

Strength Building Self-Statements 

1. What’s the worst that can happen? And based on my experience, and NOT on my emotions, how likely is that to happen? 

2. Feelings are sometimes painful, but are time-limited. 

3. It will get easier each time I practice. 

4. My success is measured by taking skillful action, not by whether I was anxious when I did it. 

5. I’m not going to let a lapse get in my way. I’m going to continue making progress towards my goal. 

6. Feeling I can’t do it is NOT the same as not being able to do it. Stick to the plan. 

7. Good job—I’m staying in the situation, even though it’s hard. 

8. I’m going to make it. 

9. It’s a sign of strength to ask for help in an effective way. 

10. Knowing when to ask for coaching is a skill in itself. 

11. I am a unique person, and I have unique reactions. Only I can determine how I SHOULD feel in any given situation. 

12. My feelings are not right or wrong, they just simply ARE. 

13. A feeling of certainty is not the same as the truth. 

14. My painful emotions happen for a reason and are an important source of information and direction for me. 

15. Urges are a natural part of emotions and of being human. Having an urge (even a strong urge) does not mean that I have to DO anything at all.

i firmly believe in taking all the time you need before entering into a relationship. there are some people who can just jump right in to every relationship they have. and it’s good that people know what they need and what works for them

i needed time. i’ve had a hard life and i had things to sort through before i got into a relationship. and it wasn’t about not caring about my boyfriend, and it wasn’t about not being able to care for someone. but i needed time. i needed time to make sure i was ok. so that i wasn’t a person who was using a relationship and using the person in the wrong way. a lot of people self medicate by going from relationship to relationship. there are people who use the people they date as therapy. there are people who use the people they date as just a distraction from the bigger issues they have. i did not want to be that person.

so i took my time. and i believe i deserve to take that time. and i encourage every person who has been through it, from tough times to trauma, to take all the time they need. you deserve to go at your own pace. you deserve not to be rushed or forced into anything you’re not ready for. you deserve to feel comfortable when you’re dealing with matters of the heart. and don’t let anyone tell you that taking the time you need is a bad thing. your mental and emotional state is an important factor in the success of relationships. and it’s ok to prioritize those things before you enter into a romantic relationship.
