Let it go…

Dear Black Women. Dear Black People. Dear World.

It’s okay to let it go.

The pain and the trauma and the hurt that someone else gave to you, it’s alright to release it and lay it down.

I’ve been seeing this a lot as of late. The Universe is not only giving permission, but it is in need of people, especially Black Women, to let go of the pain they’ve been holding on to like a dear treasure.

This is not a call to forget, and it’s damn sure not a call to forgive, but it is a call to freedom.

That cage that someone, or something, or some happening put you in, that is not your home.

Do what you have to do to heal, for your own sake.

Not because someone needs you to be better, or because someone else needs you to be your best you.

Heal because you deserve to be your best you, for YOU.

Heal because you deserve all the light, and love, and joy that this world has to offer, and you deserve to grab on to all the goodness with both hands, but you have to empty it of that thing you’re holding on to, to fully grasp the goodness.

It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility to get help.

Talk about it.

Stop protecting the ones who gave you hurt.

Go to therapy.

Pray.

Meditate.

Drink water.

Eat good food.

Take your medication.

Tell your story.

Be free.
