After weeks of waiting and planning, we’ve finally filled all three of our veggie garden beds filled and seeds in the soil.

This list of what my sister planted is truly astonishing. We still have one empty bed. Just waiting on the back ordered mushroom compost (my mom was adamant that we get mushroom dirt since that’s what her dad always used). Once it comes in, my sister will plant our onion bulbs.

I’m OCD about my hands being dirty. However, today I took the state of my hands as a source of joy. I am determined to be involved in all stages of this new adventure.

After years of not being allowed to have things because it wasn’t “my house”, it’s freeing to know that a full year after my mother’s husband died, we are making our way in the world.

(I did regret not taking off my watch before hand, that was fun cleaning all the caked on dirt off of it.)

#and still I rise

Rise

Wrapped in darkness

one starts to float

shedding the shame

to reach the light

working to be free

becoming untangled

because life is dark-

and still I rise.

Feel your energy

pulsing through the world

feel your heartbeat

bringing you life

feel how it could end

how vulnerable it is

because I am fragile-

and still I rise.

Know the darkness

the depths of despair

know the light

the violence of joy

know what is life

and use every snip

because life is short-

and still I rise.

Ranking Books I Read in 2022: 55-51

55. How to Read a Dress - Lydia Edwards

What I Liked: Well-researched, in-depth, and informative. Gorgeous accompanying images from drawn and museum sources. What I Didn’t Like: A lot of the vocabulary wasn’t explained (there is a glossary, but it’s in the back of the book and there’s no indication it’s back there), which can make it a bit daunting for newcomers. Final thoughts: An excellent resource for a very niche interest of mine, if a little inaccessible and dry.

54. My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness - Nagata Kabi

What I Liked: A lot of relatable content. The descriptions of loneliness are painfully evocative. What I Didn’t Like: Would have preferred some more stuff about the discovery of Nagata’s sexuality. Too brief, would have loved more. Final thoughts: Far too short for something that could have been phenomenal.

53. And Still I Rise - Maya Angelou

What I Liked: It’s Maya Angelou, so of course the poems are gonna be lovely and full of fire and love. What I Didn’t Like: That being said, aside from the title poem, nothing really stuck with me. Final thoughts: Perfectly serviceable. Again, it’s Angelou, of course I liked it, it just didn’t blow me away.

52. Bingo Love - Tee Franklin

What I Liked: Insanely cute with an adorable art style. The love story genuinely made me tear up a few times. What I Didn’t Like: The fact that other character’s stories are in different books (that I can’t fucking find anywhere!), basically giving us homework to understand these parts of the story that are just as important as our mains. Final thoughts: A cute, quick little love story that’ll warm your heart, even if there are some dumb choices concerning side characters. TW for homophobia.

51. A Raisin in the Sun - Lorraine Hansberry

What I Liked: One of those shows I would kill to see live. Some absolutely fire lines. What I Didn’t Like: Wait, I’m supposed to still like Walter by the end of the show? Final thoughts: A classic for a reason, even if Walter makes me wanna throw things at him.

MAVIS NICHOLSON: "Do you think it is possible, then, for someone to forgive themselves even when they've done something absolutely terrible?"

TONI MORRISON: "Yes. It's called grace. At some point you do. If you don't, you're in a cul-de-sac. But you have to go through the fire first. You have to experience the full fall, and the complete self-loathing, in order to come around to something like the forgiving of oneself. It's when you skip responsibility, when you use a subsititute emotion like guilt--which is of no use to anyone--but if you feel the real thing which is shame, hatred, humiliation, and self-loathing: that is the door. And if you get through that, then you can forgive yourself."

Toni Morrison interview, Mavis on Four, 1988

You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise.

Maya Angelou, And Still I Rise

Honestly the cliche advice is true. If you fill your life w things you’re passionate about, if you challenge yourself every day, if you give your own opinion of yourself more weight than you do other people’s opinions of you, you will actually thrive. Like no one can tell u anything

#I’m just in a whole state of mind rn #there will always be ppl who try to bring u down but pursuing the things u love will help u rise above it. #I absolutely still get anxious / annoyed at things but I’m over it sm faster. and soon it won’t bother me at all. #or at least it’ll have a healthy duration. bc negative emotion isn’t always bad. negative emotion is important and we should not ignore it #but overall!! preserving my energy better. just need to work on my knee jerk responses & I’ll be set #text

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou

Now, I don't think there's a soul who has read or heard this poem, but on the off chance that you haven't, watch this video! This recording of Miss Angelou's performance of her poem "Still I Rise" is fun and moving and captures her spirit and power.

This poem is so incredibly powerful and empowering, and is an act of joy in the face of adversity. The pride and self-love in this poem to this day lift my mood and make me feel so many ways.

The whole book, a collection of Miss Angelou's poetry, is so vulnerable and written in a that iconic voice of hers. It's moving and inspiring and absolutely incredible.

Go out and find, not just And Still I Rise but all of Maya Angelou's works! One of the bests!

it’s the 1 yr anniversary of #that man dropping me like a pile of trash it’s still so funny to me bc who did he think he was to do that

#and still i rise #rereading my diary entries from this time last year is so… #i was so confused and didn’t deserve that but also i will never allow myself to go that long being unsure #you get 24 to ignore me before i let you go

If these two ever met they’d probably annoy the shit out of each other in a sorta older “responsible” sibling vs. younger “wild card” sibling way.

#they’d actually really care about one another #but Rise! Leon would claim the ‘cool Leo’ title so fast #(tho he is just as dorky as 2012! leo) #I also think Rise! leo would secretly want other Leo’s approval and actively try to impress him #little does he know he’s already earned the title of ‘annoying little brother that you’re still proud of’ #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt #tmnt crossover #tmnt leonardo #tmnt leo 2012 #rise of the tmnt #rise leo #2012 leo #rise leonardo #2012 leonardo #leonardo
