Reposted from @orijinculture - I said to her โMama Iโm ready to leave home and be a woman โ an independent woman finding her way through life.โ I could feel her tears in her throat while she tried to bottle it in because we were that close. She grabbed a chair, sat me down and pulled her yellow comb she has always used to comb out my afro since I was a baby. Gently, she combed through my hair and softly she uttered these words of wisdom: My daughter, it is right for you to go and follow your path. I knew this day would come soon, but know this; The journey of life is like combing through your hairโ You will comb through curls and sometimes have the teeth of your comb stuck in your knots, and you will have to pull back, detangle and comb through again. And thatโs what is called life experiences. However always remember that the comb is just a toolโjust like anything you learn out there, is only a tool to comb out whatโs beautiful in you. Underneath the comb is you; underneath the comb is a crown of dignity, a crown of beauty, a crown of an independent cultured woman with pride rooted in herself. Intelligent. I love you and will always be here for you. Take this comb with you. Use it to comb through life; Use it to braid, weaving through tough times; Use it to turn and twist, locking your path never forgetting what Iโve taught you at home. โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ Secure that Luxury Africa Bag.| ๐ orijinstore.com โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ- . {๐#ThisIsAREPOSTBy: #4evahaka2 #FAMU1908๐} #CreditToOwner https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz6L1DeHKFN/?igshid=1wjg95ly1bwdc
