"caring for myself makes me strong and some people in this world don't want people like me to be strong. This inspired me to focus again on self care, b/c I don't want to grant anyone my weakness."

"Having a mindset of being worthless, and/or meaningless because of colonialist standards/anti-black practices. For you to care about yourself and love yourself despite these harsh world proves they cannot touch something that defies them."
