Let’s do!

Writing 1 Minute

*sigh*

I talked to someone, today, who made it crystal clear that folk like me, persons of color, are not ‘fit’ to live among ‘decent’ folk. Apparently, us folk of color should be…

*sigh*.

I found him terribly sad and said a prayer for him. Must be tough carrying around so much hate.

It DOES get old, beloveds, being forced account for, apologize for, be grateful for EVERY breath/step, we, as persons of colored, are ALLOWED to have/take upon the earth.

*sigh*

I must admit, it gets exhausting, old even, having to forever take the high road.

I was talking, to a white friend, and she told me she didn’t know how I was not forever angry. I told her, I MUST take the high road. Else, I would literally be angry 24/7 due to the lack of opportunities, out and out foolishness I have to fight/dealwith/carry on a 24/7 basis. Simply because I am a woman of color. Simply for BEING a woman, period.

*sigh*

Yet, I fight on. Why? Because love, will eventually win over hate. And, light WILL put out the darkness. It will. It will.

Still, it gets old.

Let’s be good to one another, beloveds. Even to the knuckleheads who don’t know better, who haven’t been raised better, who don’t care to get better. Especially, to them. They need a whole lotta love. They must be hurting, quite a bit, to be so hurtful.

Anywho, thought I would share a bit of me, a bit of care, a bit of time, a bit of love with ALL. No matter what you look like, no matter if you choose to dismiss my care because of what I look like. I love you. Still. STILL.

Say.

Live.

Love.

We got this.

Don’t let the darkness scare you. The darkness is terrified of me! It KNOWS I can scrap whether I am the kitty or the tiger.

I fight on.

We got this.

being about it,

Cassandra

  1. It was so odd. Sounding so hateful in such a jovial manner explaining how folk of color are ignorant, don’t care, are communists etc etc. Thankful there are folks like you who are insightful and caring. Gives me hope…
