Celebration

I once read in a book
that we won’t let anyone treat us worse
than we treat ourselves.

That makes me so excited for my next relationship,
because I’m treating myself better and better
every day.

“When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.”–African proverb

Dangerous

The more I learn to love myself,
the more dangerous I feel.
But dangerous in a good way.
Dangerous to systems of oppression,
dangerous to bullshit.
A wrecking ball that’s coming for the things
that need to be destroyed

“I believe that the more we love ourselves, the more potent we are”-India Arie
