According to someone, I'm a millennial. This is what I think.

Stop asking little girls if they have boyfriends Stop referring to the boys that little girls are friends with as their “little boyfriends” Stop telling little girls they’re going to have boyfriends or be “boy crazy” Stop raising children on heteronormativity and let them be children

The person you marry is the person you fight with. The house you buy is the house you repair. The dream job you take is the job you stress over. Everything comes with an inherent sacrifice -whatever makes us feel good will also inevitably make us feel bad. What we gain is also what we lose. What creates our positive experiences will define our negative experiences.

How I Got Self-Love Wrong

For the longest time I thought that loving yourself meant you had to do everything by yourself. My mother and other women have told me that, “You have to love yourself before you love another,” and I’ve followed that advice for my entire 23 years. Now, I think I love myself too much. 

I love myself so much that I hide my amazing self in fear that others will not accept me. I don’t want to be broken or rejected so I’ve been “self-healing” and “self-empowering” myself forever because I keep thinking that my happiness comes only from myself. Is this self-love or distrust?

I read a lesson from Sharon Salzburg that said loving yourself means that you’re not afraid to share yourself romantically, spiritually, emotionally, etc. It means that you’re not ashamed of your imperfections and allow others to absorb your unique energy. Case in point, you are not fearful of other people’s judgements because you know that others don’t define you. 

I’d like to be less fearful. For example, I’d like to go on a date at least once and think that I didn’t fuck it up because a guy didn’t call me back or I didn’t call him. I’d like to go into most situations with a je ne sais quoi attitude and enjoy each present moment. I’m going to practice self-love as I always do but with a little more bravery. When the Universe says, “Sorry girl, not right now,” I know it’s not saying it’ll never happen.

What is your source of love?

Can we revoke Kanye’s black card, please? He’s such an embarrassment to our people.
