that since filling up my dash with tons of photos and stories of POC being beautiful and strong and smart and talented and queer and trans* and fat and differently abled and fighting different struggles, struggles and tears and achievements that are loud and quiet and religious and bursting with love and just so fucking multidimensional and human that i’ve come to appreciate us so much more. 

our histories, our glories.  our features; our skin, our hair, bright smiles in sunless places, our wealthy souls outshining destitution.  no restitution; i’ll take it all.     

this fills me some emotion i can’t describe, but its spilling over in waves out of my heart, out of my eyes.  so that i’m drowning in it and dont care to come up for air.

ive got a boom a spark a bang in my lungs. so dont resuscitate me.

this is the beginning of self love.
