I’m a scattered brain
I’m a lover
An overthinker
A lover of words including French words
I am hopeful once again
I think about colonization, oppression, and ways to fight the system often
I like fiction but I read biographies and self-help books by womxn of color
Men don’t impress me but I love it when I am able to connect with them
I am angry often
I feel love at the same time
My thoughts run a thousand miles an hour while my body moves like a sloth
I am daring to love myself
Stretchmarks decorate my skin
Therapy has saved my life
Therapy has changed my life
I have decided it’s time to change a lot
I still dream
I can’t believe I still dream
I can’t believe that I still have faith
Faith in a God
Faith in the universe
Faith in Mother Nature
Faith in my ancestors
Faith in myself
I have faith and I still dream
I am exactly where I want to be
