Who am I?
I realize I never fully explained why g(h)ood girls heal.
Consequently it seems that my intentions for this website may have appeared vague but, I want to make it very clear that g(H)ood Girls Heal is for the evolving imperfectly perfect human.
I routinely harp on and on about the importance of individuality unaffected and being your own person while simultaneously ignoring myself. In my intrusive and oftentimes malicious mind, I pondered who I was and who I wanted to be and who I wanted to appease to. And in that thought process I realized the only person I was truly meant to care about pleasing was myself .
My only job in life was the nurture the little girl within me. The little girl who often got labeled some delicately abrasive adjectives that, she took on the motif of without any further thought or understanding. Always aiming to be perfect; the perfectly perfect good girl who only wanted approval.
Moving through life and into my twenties made me become kinder to myself. I realized I needed some relief from always trying to be what everyone else needed. I needed to be the shelter for myself. I needed to be what I needed.
Growing up, I remember being called hood or ghetto and it always threw me cause I’m the poster child for sheltered kids. Weirdly, the label came from my sporadic acts of assertiveness. Only when I spoke up for myself was I sassy or hood or ghetto and back then it use to affect me so much cause I wanted to be palatable, not one of those black girls that people often labeled as difficult. But I had to grow and learn that there was nothing wrong with those girls and that there was also nothing wrong with me.
g(H)ood Girls Heal is a gift to the little human in me. It isn’t just a personal journal or blog, it’s a place to grow, to ponder, to try and heal the person that you need the most: you. This is a place to take away from my experiences, words, and emotions and allow yourself to process your own. We’re healing and growing; from pain we haven’t yet felt, from love we’d seen come and go; and from trauma that is unspoken of.
g(H)ood girls heals is the opportunity to heal your mind body and soul. While also confronting you; unfulfilled, unprocessed, unbound.
