retrogradinggg n I jus learned what “negging” means ewllll I will not Be taking the bait from someone covertly trying to make me feel bad about mySelf / how I look / the way I Live n Love ever again zont let noBody siphon
n its always those who want to hide the way they Be treating others those who attempt to make me feel ashamed for Knowing n naming my feelings n sharing my Life openly
Im realizing I have Been “negged” by partners friends family bosses Teachers peers etc telling me about my crystals my identity my special interests how I think Im better than everyone else taking shots at my follower count my poetry my Body my posts everything p much as long as I have Been online people in my real Life have tried to make me feel stupid for wanting to Be Seen in ways that validate the way I want to See mySelf…Being of the first gen to grow up on social media has Been a wild ride but I am proud of my footprint when I look back n around I held mySelf up n down in the face of constant erasure n trailblazed ways for others too
I am unashamed of my entirety n I understand it often makes (american) folks act very violently to encounter Self acceptance integrity n accountability but
its not on me its in me
its in the little things how we do get Free
