This is beautiful! I have a litany of things I thought I was bad at too, because I wasn't in first place. But now I realize drawing, doing hair, garment making (crochet and sewing and weaving), and even writing and public speaking are things I do thrive at for my own sake.
And I also affirm that even though my beauty leans Black nerd, I still have a vibrancy that is unmatched.
Thank you, Kristen! I really appreciate you reading and commenting!
It's so interesting that you mentioned your talents because I share those same interests. I gave up drawing because I wasn't good and didn't understand to get good you had to practice. So I made sure to use that wisdom to encourage my daughter. Her skill is developing and she can do the things I struggled to accomplish with ease now, and it feels like that healed a little part of Candace.
I use that wisdom for myself to continue to practice my writing to continue to explore my voice. Ah! So many similarities I could go on and on! Thank you again for this comment!
Truly an inspiration. I find a lot of similarities with my own life and it brings me some peace to read your story, makes me hopeful for the future. Not perfect, but beautiful and made with love. Thank you 🖤
This gave me so much healing. I remembered how I felt in school from this reading this. Many of times in my life, including moments in my 20's (I'm in my 20's still) I was pushed aside all for "the idea of friendship" but not understanding that the ideal is having people who actually appreciate you around you.
I usually cry when I get some healing.
Thank you for helping me heal Jacquie and thank you for helping me cry.
Congrats on everything good that has happen for you and I can't wait to see more of journey.
