I revisited 4 in it’s entirety, and Beyonce was definitely in her bag with that album. The commitment and vulnerability of it all. Truly an album full of lover girl ballads. ✨

*I wish I would see a woman begging a man.

I love the beach so much but the mountains might be right up there with it.

I think I’m in love with the mountains now. 😍 I can’t wait to see the sunrise tomorrow morning ❤️

A mouthful. 🙌🏽

Not grits slander 🥲

And I’m really cute today. 😌✨

I feel accomplished today, I made it to both of my appointments and got a few other errands taken care of.

My kindness is my resistance to allowing the past to dictate how I present myself.

Reasons why I said no to that marriage proposal 3 years ago.

A year in South Carolina. With proof of different addresses.

You have to earn access to me.

I don’t personally understand why people would rather be blocked than muted, or why it’s offensive. To me it’s the least personal….but also, none of it is that deep cuz it’s the internet and I’m not overly invested in anyone/anything here

I wanted to engage in that thread, but it would’ve opened some wounds that I’ve worked hard to heal. No one deserves to suffer at the hands of domestic violence. ❤️‍🩹

You see these stories women are sharing of men going off the chain with violence & disrespect from a woman's rejection coming from this prompt? That's not because men need mental health support. It's because society shapes them this way & allows them to be.

I know we’ve conditioned ourselves to say our partners shouldn’t be our therapists. And to an extent they shouldn’t, but you also should not be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t even want to be a safe space to hear your traumas & no we will not debate this.

Being a lover girl with boundaries is funny. Big on loyalty & once you cross me Future starts playing in my head. I don’t remember nothing.

Hold on I got you king.

Too many black women getting killed from their partners. Thats scary. 💔

I have to read up on that movement more and see about ways for me to advocate.

This week was Black Maternal Health Week.

If I don’t have feelings for you, we not having sex. I can’t do casual sex.

No, the lover girl in me won’t allow it.

I hope a softness comes & rinses the ache out of your bones

I finally have my birthday list together. ✨

What part of you still thinks you’re unworthy of the reciprocation of love you give out…that your vessel could carry it for others but not for yourself? As if God would make such a petty mistake…

Remember to stay genuine and move with intention. Also, remember that love starts with you. ❤️

Mahershala Ali, Giancarlo Esposito, Tramell Tillman, and John Cho are set to star in Bassam Tariq’s ‘Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother.’ The film follows a hitman struggling to balance his job, with his faith, & fatherhood.

Good morning + Happy Thursday ❤️
