Resmaa Menakem, My Grandmother’s Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies

I want to die. I’m so just emotionally mentally done from this love shouldn’t hurt the this hurts. I’m so disappointed and angry and just completely invalidated of my existence. I just want to disappear

I only log on here when someone I’ve met and has helped save me passes away. God it just feel so surreal. I can’t begin to imagine how her family feel rip Morgan thank you for helping to save me you will never know how much it meant to me ♥️

self-care tip:

you are allowed to take a break. you are allowed to rest. every moment of downtime does not have to be another opportunity to achieve something. the dishes can wait. the laundry can wait. the unsorted pantry, the weekly shop, the kitchen sides thick with grease - none of these are urgent. anything that could be done today could be done just as well tomorrow. so rest. take a breath. press pause. check in on yourself: are you okay? is your heart okay? what matters most to you right now, and are you giving it enough time? you are not indebted to every hour. you do not have to relentlessly give back, trudge on, follow through. be merciful with yourself. let the small things go. let the big things go alongside them if it will help you. stop doing things that do not bring you pleasure, peace, or joy. lessen the demands you make of yourself. let yourself be, just for a moment, for however long you need. let yourself come first. let yourself matter.
