10 Things I'm Not Sorry For

1. Crying

2. Not Getting Help

Just because my pain is outward, does not mean that something is more wrong with me than you. Let me recover in peace.

3. Being angry

4. Being Black

5. Being angry about racism

6. Laughing loudly

If my happiness disturbs you please let me know so I can move as far away from your miserable being as possible.

7. Not enunciating every syllable.

If you think that there's a correlation between talking right and being white, sit down.

8. Dancing

Call it ratchet, call it goofy, I call it happy.

9. Being an optimist

I'm glad you find my giddiness annoying

10. Cutting people off for my own sanity. Boundaries are important.

I will take up space.
