Nugget #6

I am content with the way my world is right now. I can't let any one else's negativity penetrate how I feel. Who knows or cares how long this will last. All that matters right now is making good academic decisions, and trusting that the future is, in part, out of my hands. Being at peace sometimes means lacking empathy for other people, or being a bad friend. But I can't always be here to be the supportive black friend who has no one. White women, in fact, white people in general are always trying to piggy back off black women's strength. I'm too happy to take it anymore. I am so close to finding peace and recognizing my potential for strength and love. I know that I can be happy as much as I know that I can't let anyone poison this for me right now.
