The sun comes out in the morning y’all!!! I feel much better today. Thank you all for the positive words of upliftment. I started hyperventilating from stress and anxiety yesterday morning and I just allowed myself to give way to the tears and I stood in the shower and cried and cried and cried. Then I blasted rock music and I sang and cried and sang some more. I let the warm water pour over my head and I stood there supported by the wall until I could hold myself up. And when I got out of the shower I felt ANEW!! Wow!!

Then I thought about you all telling me about Peaches & Herb and I decided to try multiple rows of bangs with randomized wooden beads. I think I do remember rock stars from the early 80s wearing their hair like this - Rick James, Stevie Wonder. I distinctly remember this being a thing 
. Except I’m rocking a puff in the back. Maybe one day I’ll braid my whole head? Lol. Who knows. I’m digging the half & half look.

Wbu? How are you wearing your hair nowadays? Are you taking any risks & chances? Mimicking any era? Like me, I’m going for 70s Ebony & Jet magazine / Disco Queen!

In my Black Studies class I’m demonstrating in action an embrace for natural hair/beauty. Wbu? What are you in to nowadays and why?

Also, I have my FIRST session back in Therapy today. My last therapist left the business in the summer, started her own firm and it took MONTHS for the insurance to cross over and finally FINALLY I’m about to get mental health support again. Phewwww. And I REALLY REALLY NEED IT! This journey was not meant to go alone. Therapists help us navigate complex and compounding issues which we may not be able to unravel from when we’re in the think of it. Thank Goddess for insurance, and an open mind and willingness to receive help! đŸ™ŒđŸŸ

Wbu?

Mourning the Me of last year, tonight.
I wish for life’s simplicity
 when I had time to make videos and connect with the world.

Now I’m fumbling around in a foreign existence navigating through a new type of jungle with dangers, pitfalls, traps, land mines and etiquette I don’t understand.

I miss the Bronx, I understood its rules. Walk upbeat stay alert while minding your business, listen and watch people, but avoid eye contact, show that you’re comfortable and relaxed, but not slack. Keep to yourself when you need to, talk loud when you have to and all in all what you see is what you get. In the University smiling faces sometimes tell lies
 “smile in your face, all the while they wanna take your place
” đŸŽ¶

Remembering baby bangs, blonde hair & bangles. Lip gloss, leggings& lighting, golden highlights
. I was so gold. Look at that glow!!! I had no idea I was so luminous. I am PERFECTION!!

I forget what she wanted
 but what she wanted led me to where I am now
 but I lost a part of her in becoming the future Me she wanted to be. And I’m left in the midsts of this mire trying to carry on her dream
 not knowing then what would be required of me now, would deteriorate parts of me that wanted it in the first place.

To be put into the kiln and have the luster beat off of me
 in the making of the Katana.

Oh Sigh.

Only the ppl who have seen the inside of the lion’s jaws and lived to tell the tale could truly understand

I can see why people pretend to be a top percenter. It’s much easier to take selfies pretending to do it, than to do what is actually, truly required of you to go through a top University.

One thing I learned from The Walking Dead is what you THINK is the biggest issue is really only the intro to the true plot twists
..

I’ll just leave that right there.

I know I won’t be the same person coming out
 that I was going in. My Master’s program was a tiptoe through the tulips compared to this. And I thank Goddess for the which both fortified, and sheltered me for this leg of the journey.

I’m in the Lion’s Den. (The mascot—Literally).

On the hardest of days, there are always flowers. And sunshine. And fresh air.

And memories of a time when I used to...
be so intimately involved with you.
Now I see you

in someone else’s yard.
And I pass by
occasionally

And admire your beauty.
But I can’t deny,
I miss the feel

Moist
Dark
Warm
Fragrant
Dirty
Wet
Filthy
Fresh
Alive
My hands

They’re empty
I sit near you

But you’re not mine
I touch you

for a moment

Before I say goodbye
You feel
So delicate
And Your petal
Falls
to the ground
As I walk away.
But I can’t
Turn around.
You’re somebody
Else’s.
And lovely as you are
Mine was different
Safe and known
You’re a stranger
To me
I don’t know what you need
And’s even if I did
It’s inappropriate
You’re theirs.
But you were mine

For a moment.

Thank you All for voting! I went with Sweater/Cardigan B/I because it continued to rank high across multiple studies (even with mixed placement and sizes). I weighed popularity, high demand, uniqueness to my current wardrobe and price. The price was hefty, so y’all BETTER like it!! lol. So tell me so below!

This is me in front of the Hallowed Hamilton Hall which in 1968 was taken over by a Black student organization, 86 students and the infamous Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), who took it over and renamed it Malcolm X Liberation College and held it in occupation for 7 days until Colombia University relented on the purchasing, demolishing and imperial-ish seizure of Morningside Park to privatize it.

The intended privatizing was famously dubbed “Gym-Crow”

Ultimately the Black student organization succeeded and Morningside Park persists till this day and is a beautiful scenic public park which serves the community of west Harlem and the Morningside area

Last round. Please help me decide I included the top 2 from the last round, plus they have some new pieces. Also the sweater most liked is sold out in smaller sizes. (Prices and sizes vary)

These late nights are taking their toll. Dark circles, hollowed eyes.

I think part of the reason ppl in rigorous programs get upset at folks faking it online with well coifed hair and manicured nails - baby hairs teased to perfection, is because of the looks-deteriorating effects this type of rigor creates (or at least the deprioritization of one’s looks - where high upkeep becomes near impossible)


Then we have these bikini clad Foctorates with gym-perfect-bods, daily glam makeup, weaves, lash installs, weekly gel nails, perfect French-tipped toes, immaculate routine facials etc etc who have NO IDEA what would really be required of them to get what they’re pretending to have. Late nights, brink of burnout, faltered gym routine, upkeep neglect, sidelined self care. I’m not saying this is healthy, nor ideal. It just is what it is. There’s only 24 hours in a day and when push comes to shove, we have to choose. One choice gets the work done, the other makes it look like you’ve had “work done.”
