✨️Soft Girl Era✨️

That’s how it felt for me when I started working through my issues. I know I’m better now, but without that ever-present struggle guiding my every move, things feel… off. Like I should be doing something, but I don’t know what. It’s unsettling, even though I know this is a healthier place to be.

The Wicked Witch, much like Black women, was judged unfairly from the start, exploited for her power, and forced into a life of servitude. Constantly expected to care for everyone while not being offed any of that compassion she extended. Despite the cruelty she faced, she held onto her compassion and empathy. Her ultimate liberation came from embracing her true self, refusing to conform to society's expectations. Yet, this act of self-love was misconstrued as evil, mirroring the experiences of Black women who are labeled as harsh or difficult when they prioritize their own needs.
