Happy New Year. I plan to write a lot more this year, including finishing the book. I’ve always loved words and admire the power they hold to heal. Sometimes I get so lost and hide myself away from everyone, even family. I feel now that in showing you who I am and what’s in my heart is best for me emotionally and mentally. Self love and positivity are my mission and I will continue to write my truth always. Thank you for supporting, sharing and being moved by what I write. Love you all.

If they save “I love you” for between the sheets and seeing you just to meet their selfish needs…

If they call you beautiful only when you look the way they say you should or only to cancel it out with criticism…

If you feel caught in a triangle with them shoving other potential romantic interests in your face, making you doubt your place…

If they treat you more like a doll, a puppet, an accessory, a burden, a savior or anything other than a three-dimensional fully-formed independent lovable person…

Then are you not better off without them?

Can change suddenly, like the weather without warning.

Ready to take that leap...

Will you catch me?

“I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”

— Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (via books-n-quotes)

Brown Girl Dreaming (2014)

“Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. 

Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child’s soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson’s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become. “
