Dream Chaser

I don't know what else to tell you.

But being this angry over a fictional character is pretty pathetic.

Also, Mariska loves Chris, so like, do you now hate her for being excited and happy that he is back or...?

Or do we just hate men, and refuse to accept that they can change and have major growth due to circumstances that happen in their lives?

Because that's a fun and super healthy way of thinking.

Anyway, get out of this tag. Maybe start a new tag called I hate fictional men.

This tag should be filled with people who like the thing we are tagging.

Not anger and hatred.

And again.

THIS IS FICTION NOT REAL LIFE.

I forgot how different social media was 10 years ago when I was just on Twitter and people were actually lovely and nice even when they disagreed.

I don't want to have to post something like this again, so just, do all of us a favor and go away and hate us where we can't see you.

This is an intervention. Uh huh, yeah. That’s what I thought, an intervention. Okay. And, uh, what are we intervening on? 

Anyway, she follows it up with, “My husband and I just recently won our custody battle with our foster daughter and she means the world to us. She’s a beautiful African American girl and her hair looks a lot like yours. But I’m afraid because I don’t know what to do with her hair. It’s a lot different from mines and our other children and we are at a total loss. I’ve tried looking up the YouTube videos and my husband went to the braiding shops so they can teach him how to properly braid her hair, but he’s still pretty new and it will be a while before he gets used to it. Do you have any tips you can give me? If you don’t have the time, it’s okay, really! I just needed a little advice because I want her to look beautiful.”

Y’all. swear I almost started crying on aisle 6. So for the last 30 minutes, I spent my time talking to her and what products to use and how to properly detangle and comb her hair with the proper tools and what not to do with natural hair. And I showed her a bunch of easier to follow natural hair tutorials on YouTube and saved them for her. (I also had to create a YouTube account for her so she could save it for later.) but omfg, she was so sweet, and I could tell that she listened to every single thing I had to say and she took little notes on her little notepad.

And what really filled my heart was the fact that her husband actually taking classes from African braiding shops. And she showed me a picture of him wearing a little sweater vest and loafers in a little shop surrounded by beautiful black women showing him how to braid black hair and even the lady he’s braiding on is guiding his hands. And omfg. Bless these old white people and their black daughter who I know have new loving parents because they are willing to step out of their comfort zone just to make her feel and look beautiful.
