you never understood pain as a child ‘til you had to sit on the floor in between ya mamas legs while she yanked ya hair up into these little shits and the ball part snapped against ya skull 

i have dents in my cranium 

my hair use to be so long the balls would smack me in my teeth.

lmao YES! I damn near chipped a tooth and busted my lip one time!

Never forget.

Man I had the BIG ones…

the big ones lol

I can smell the hair grease, the feel of the stool or the carpet under my behind…and being nervous. Because she had one more time to tell me to move before I felt the back of that brush. 

Lord, the flashbacks…

Omg getting my hair done was the worst. I would cry tell everyone I hated them. Lol gosh those days

I use to try to take them off. I hated those things with a passion. The pulling of the hair. I can feel it now. 

Childhood.

"Falling in love with yourself is as beautiful as any experience of love is. It’s learning to laugh at your awkward tendencies and smile at all your quirky habits. It’s learning to be grateful for the many sides you have – confident, crazy, shy, sexy, nerdy, angry, weird, and all the rest of them. It is realizing that you’re one of a kind and that you deserve to give the world the best person you can be. Falling in love with yourself is being happy in your life and knowing that in this one moment in time, you’re beautiful simply because you are you."

do you ever have imaginary/potential conversations with people in your head but then catch yourself accidentally mouthing the words out or making faces that would go along with your reactions in the conversation
