Just a general FYI, I support women who misbehave, who rebel against the status quo, who exist in deviation of the norm, infact I adore women like that, women who scribble as apposed to writing, women who paint over as apposed to colouring in the lines, women who gulp their drink in one sip as apposed to 100 sips, women who sit with their legs open, burp out loud, laugh out loud and stare uncomfortability into men, I adore women who choose violence over diplomacy in the face of injustice, I love women who choose violence over diplomacy in the face of ukuqhelwa ikaka, I adore the queerness of black womanhood, I adore the women who speak out of turn and spit at respectability politics, I adore women who undo borders and take down categories, I adore women who enjoy the androgyny of being black unapologetically, I adore women who fill up spaces with the scent of their rebellion and disrespect, I love women who's bodies don't fit any of the moulds so they take up space to break moulds, I love women who's bodies are as rebellious as their spirit, women who's bare faces look like defiance and reckless abandon of respect, I absolutely, positively, austentaciously love them with all of my being! ❤️❤️❤️

I write to breathe
Write for the hearts that have stopped feeling,
write for the eyes that have stopped seeing light,
write for the shards of self that are lost...

My mother told me that friends are a bad idea
So I found family instead
You see for me the idea of being alone is awesome but loneliness is not an option I can afford.

I keep looking for memories because I am unhappy with my present existence

Look I don't know where to put my happy thoughts because over time my minds furniture became only equipped for survival

I haven't a clue what to do with fresh milk so I let it spoil and then I cry

Sometimes in my bed at night I carve out a place for my anxiety and depression to find comfort and lay next to me through out the night

Most days are hard but that's okay because that's normal for everyone right?

I don't have a wallet anymore because I've run out of F*$ # to give.

But

I do want to make new memories.

I went searching for new mental furniture preferably something that can contain happy thoughts sometimes and enjoy frivolity again.

I no longer have space for spoiled milk now I'm always getting myself a new carton with every morning

Most days are still hard but I work out now so I can have enough strength and energy to push through.

My pockets are starting to fill up with some f*$ # to give so I'm going to need a new wallet for Christmas.

My body isn't a temple, an amusement park, a crime scene or a battlefield, it's a home that sometimes houses conflicts that never get resolved, sometimes it houses tensions that only pretend to leave by falling asleep, sometimes houses lovers and in moment's of love making opens up to embrace them, sometimes houses depression and anxiety constant tenants who sometimes leave for a short vacation but be sure to return with brand-new luggage.

My body is mostly a home to me, I feel safest in it most times and I wouldn't have it any other way🫂

When I look in the mirror and I see other people's opinions about myself I panic because I'm not looking at myself in the mirror but I'm looking at the many other people that other people see, sometimes I panic when I look in the mirror when I see my opinions about myself because I've been poisoned by the environments I used to frequent and have since frequented, I am struggling to see a reflection of myself and illness sometimes blocks that too but I won't give up, I won't stop searching.

Everyday I wake up and set to work, the work is to reclaim my narrative, the work is to create community within myself, for myself, the work is to redeem my personhood, the work is to wade through all the externals and identify my own opinions about myself, the work is to cultivate a harmony and clarity in myself so that I can be okay with me, this is the work I wake up and set to doing everyday.

I've always been fascinated by the genderlessness of people, the way one moves though life, the way we clothe ourselves in the comfort of private spaces, the way we speak or commune in personal safe spaces, humanities genderlessness is in all of the ways we land and float, without effort, without attempt but by just being and then the gendered things are what take an effort to do, you must make a conscious choice to gender it's choosing to do something or to not do something to be perceived or seen as that particular gender now this is not necessarily a bad thing it's just an intriguing aspect of living I've come to observe.

I'm climbing into an era of self that speaks with certain confidence, I really enjoy the becoming I've entered it feels like home

Grief knows us by our names, it has our personal email addresses and it knows where we live, it creeps up on us when in it has no one else to hang out with, grief is a promised certainty that we keep trying to run away from but can't, sometimes I relish feeling nothing, sometimes I just want to experience the world as a cloud in the sky untethered, free from gravity and away from grief's reach...
