The Question

I was asked this very poignant question the other day.

“Why don’t you think you’re great as you are?” (Paraphrasing).

My immediate response was ohhh that’s really heavy ima make me an appointment with my therapist before I delve into this too deep and suffocate.‬ ‪So I took some time and sat with myself and that question for a long time. And black folx y’all know the other day may mean yesterday or a year ago. After the time I realized it was my feelings of inadequacy and how they are often perpetuated by society and in my case ‪how they were by someone in my close proximity. I say all of this to say that it’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to have doubt. But do not SIT in it forever. That doubt will come but you have to make it go. ‬

I’m a fat black queer HIGHLY educated cis woman I am not the exception.
