There’s a quiet heaviness to it that lingers after reading. It feels less like someone trying to impress you with words and more like someone finally saying something true out loud.

Bueatifully written. Sometimes we all lose sight of what drives us without a mirror or somone else to remind us that we may have walked away without meaning to.

Thank you for sharing this. As a mother we do tend to put ourselves in the back burner because our families take the front one. But, it is important to come back to ourselves for their sake as much as ours . 🥰🥰🥰

Yes you are Naima! I went to the Nuyorican a few years ago right before it closed for construction. I really enjoyed it and I love your writing.
