Dear me,
Wear those coloured wigs and weaves you’ve always wanted to try. You were told by society it’s ghetto. You felt it’s immature at one point. You cared too much about what the world thought. The same people who shame black women and call them ghetto are the same ones who cosplay as you and get praised for it. Wear them without fear. After all, black girls are made for every colour.
Wear as many rings as you want to. Let them shine with the acrylics adorning your nails. Bright pink, yellow, neon green or black? All with jewels? Whatever you desire. You my dear, were never one to be in a box. You’re much too extraordinaire.
Twerk as much as you want, sing your heart out as much as you want, wear the longest braids or faux locs you wish to. Get those tattoos, pierce the places you want to. Write those stories. Do what you love. It’s times for you to be happy.
As you go on your journey, don’t be afraid to glow.
Let go of your fears.
Hoping to see a different, happy, joy filled with beams of beauty radiating from the inside version of you one day. Your mind and I will love that.
Kisses sis
Sincerely
Your heart and head
