I love the way you break the fourth wall to the reader whilst allowing us into your mind. The bit where you showed how you talk yourself down in those moments was beautiful and heartbreaking. I look forward to seeing more of your posts.
Omg no don’t calm down your dopeness!! Thank you so much for these immensely thoughtful words. It makes me feel really cool that the inside of my thoughts are like a movie 🤣
This post is both heartbreaking and hopeful. I sense the pain, frustration, and exhaustion that comes with navigating systemic racism. It's clear that you're yearning for respect, understanding, and connection. I imagine it would feel incredibly validating to have your experiences and emotions acknowledged. Thank you for sharing your story and for finding ways to maintain your compassion in the face of adversity. 🙏💗
Absolutely loved it! The tension created by outside chaos, and the process of regulating yourself everything was vivid. Tbh halfway through the post, I think I started experiencing secondhand tension and rage 😅
It was so good to read . I loved it

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words :). Also for giving me an opportunity to learn (by googling) what the fourth wall is bahaha

Sorry ahem, clam down, Neka ….
Hello friend, I rather enjoyed the movie you just narrated in my head.
I watched the words puff up and check, stand in line and meditate… I felt for your mom sitting passenger 😊
I dig the way you write.
Spoken word????
Anyway,

Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, it's very much a "both and" experience not easily articulated or felt
The "both and" experience is indeed a heavy burden to carry, and I appreciate your courage in sharing your truth. Your presence and voice matter. 🙏
That mantra is *chef's kiss*... I am solid, I am free.
Thanks so much! Honestly, it really does make me feel both grounded and boundless :)
It feels like a play.. You wrote so cinematically.. lots of applause..!!!!! I'm amazed...
Thank you so much!! I hadn’t thought of it that way, but am excited I now can bahaha!!
