This message has been the bane of my existence for 25 years. I am constantly having to assert my humanity, but my own Mama told me that the frailties of humanity don’t belong to me, a Black Girl. And I stepped out her door and found it to be true.  All the while, I can still hear the blood pulsing through my veins. I can still feel all my hurts. But, I don’t have time to fall apart. Strong Black Woman. I told someone once that I was overdue for a nervous breakdown, but it wasn’t on the schedule & so I’d have to wait until I was dead to break down. I laughed when I said it, but they just looked horrified. Strong Black Women burn out one day & then we get to rest. Yeah. It’s something that comes up in therapy all the time. I just can’t conceive of not bucking up, fucking soldiering on because shit needs to get done.  He asks why and I never know what to say.  I mean intellectually sure I guess I don’t have to be responsible for everything.  But it feels like that’s for other people not me.  Sometimes I’m envoius of the “ability” to just lose it for a while.  All I can think of the stuff that needs doing. I always loved Bailey because she goes through soooo much and still stays strong…NEW SEASON IN 2 WKS!!!
