Today I am being reminded why the Black Panthers had mandatory reading.

Air signs You’ve been forcing people to face the truth about themselves lately, and not everybody likes that. The energy is very much “if you said it, own it.” You’ve been more vocal about your boundaries and less willing to let disrespect slide just because you care about someone. You can handle a lot for the people you love, but recently you’ve stopped tolerating behavior that drains or disrespects you. What others get away with elsewhere no longer works with you. Pulling back and staying to yourself has never really bothered you, especially when protecting your peace is the priority. A lot of situations were becoming mentally exhausting and had you overthinking yourself for a while, but you finally broke free from that cycle. Now you’re seeing things clearer and standing firmer in your worth.

It’s so jarring how fruitless being the obedient daughter is, you’ll sacrifice any chance at real happiness to be good and your father will just turn around and call you a burden. How can your hatred for women be greater than your love for your own blood?

its strange realizing ur in one of the bad periods of ur life while its actively happening. like oh this is going to leave a mark on me forever isnt it
