- I feel deeply. I always knew this, but I always tried to stop myself. Words have failed me when trying to describe how I feel.
- I have an excessive amount of anxiety and it makes my life difficult. I tend to ignore it.
- I am scared of being visible. When people recognize me I wonder do they see me. Is it safe to show them my most authentic self?
- I am learning what love I will accept and what is unacceptable. My boundaries are not quite set and I have opened myself up to more hurt because of it. I have also learned how truly deep my capacity for care and love is. I do not wish to set boundaries that will lessen my capacity for love.
- I have not learned enough about how to be a healthy friend. I have not learned enough about how to invest in friendships more than romance.
- I have a deep empathetic kinship with Black women. I’m not free until we’re all free.
- I only internalize compliments from the people who probably don’t deserve my time.
- I deeply crave creative community that reflects me, my experiences and sees my potential.
- I am so powerful. Yes that does still scare me.
- I am still searching for God in new ways. I have yet to believe in His love for me and that is probably the root of all problems.
