LIFE'S TOO SHORT FOR
Bad Coffee
Bad selfies
Silent white friends
Lackluster love
Being constantly comfortable
Being constantly uncomfortable
New England winters
Friends who don’t call
Grudges
Bikini-less Summer
Saying yes when you mean no
Comparisons
Opinions
Caring about things you don’t really care about
“You’re pretty for a black girl...”
New year new you
Finsta
Holding in your tears
Waiting for tomorrow
Modern day Jim Crow
5 hours in the mirror
Faking it
Waiting to say I Love You
Fitting into a mold you didn’t make
Living up to expectations
Microaggressions
A flat fro
Being a wallflower at a wedding
Always being busy
Forcing yourself into forgiveness
A bad manicure
Shitty feng shui
Smiling through it
Bad lighting
Liars
Donald Trump
and Ashy knees
Also Life’s too short for hiding.
Life’s too short for telling yourself the same old story about who you are. Life’s too short to never change. To stay stuck inside or running some rat race or sticking to your Big Life Plan. Lose your fear. Gain your whole damn life.
