I won’t allow my life to be defined by:
1) what someone did or didn’t do FOR me,
2) what someone did or didn’t do TO me,
3) what someone did or didn’t say ABOUT me,
4) what someone did or didn’t GIVE me.
Good or bad.
In the past, when folx devalued my worth, I worked myself into a frenzy in the hopes they’d value me. Yet their ignorance shouldn’t be my starting point.
My starting point began eternities ago. My starting point began when God imagined my existence. To God, my existence is very, very good.
So today I do like Maya Angelou and “dance like I have diamonds at the meeting of my thighs” because diamonds dwell in me. They dwell in you too.
