Dear Black Woman there’s something beautiful about reaching a place in life where peace feels like your best style outfit. Somewhere between years of tears and just being you, you’ve finally stopped chasing what’s next and start appreciating what’s now.
As a Black woman, that peace hits just hits different from each of our ancestors to our daughters now. For so long, we were taught to keep it together, hold it down, be strong for everyone else even when we were tired. But this part of life? This part right here as you get older: It’s not about proving strength anymore, It’s about protecting your ageless peace by any means necessary.
The other side of aging isn’t about time running out : it’s about finally walking at your own pace. It’s knowing that living soft, being soft , loving soft, and wanting softness doesn’t mean weakness, and that joy isn’t a luxury, and that slowing down doesn’t mean you’ve stopped. It just means you’ve awakened to what is important.
And there’s nothing more beautiful than that :being fully here living life, unbothered, still becoming, and realizing you’ve been the moment all along.
Black Woman This Is For You!
-live beyond a life that was giving to you
