I could use some encouragement today ❤️
​
Y'all... I know everybody's tired, but I'm gonna be a little vulnerable for a second
I'm working on my confidence, and I'm trying, especially while dealing with depression
I've had my biggest hater be my own mom. Growing up hearing you're ugly, too dark, too fat... even when you know those things aren't true, it still leaves scars when it's coming from your own blood
Then recently, a guy I dated who I thought was respectful turned racist the second things didn't go his way. He told me I was a "fat, worn out Black woman" and that nobody would ever want me
Logically, I know that's not true. Hurt people say cruel things to hurt you. But I'd be lying if I said those words didn't stick in my head
I'm okay today, so don't worry about me. I just think I could use some kind words to drown out the ugly ones for a bit 🤍
