There's a TikTok video for the Queen Anne truck. I haven't seen anything for other locations yet, but it doesn't hurt to share some resources / reminders. Especially the part about getting kids/ their schools trusted adults they contact - I hadn't thought about that.

Slide 8 - screenshot from TikTok of Queen Anne vehicle.
Slide 9 - 12 are just Google images of types of vehicles they might have.

Taking a minute to applaud myself for the changed habits & mindset I've been working on in 2024. More of this for 2025 ✨️💞

Babe, wake up. It's time to eat (the rich).

Appreciate the people who chime in on my story posts about life things. I had posted a frustration about how you can go from kicking it with someone to no contact and how much I hate those societal rules (second slide). I was surprised at how many felt it as hard as I did. There were messages from people feeling the weight of it holding them back personally to people straight up saying "f**k the rules" 🥹

This quote came from something I ended up writing to someone; an unexpected epiphany I wanted to share. I saw them out recently, and we walked past each other like we'd never met. Most advice out there would applaud me for "matching energy." Bad bitch s**t, right?

Let me tell you a little something about when you start working with/paying attention to energy. It turns all this 2D thinking on its head. The result of my not acting in alignment with how I felt? Intense migraines & my whole body was completely out of whack.

I got home that night & couldn't shake it. I played it so well. Nobody, including this person, would know this was someone whose name popping up on my phone would make me smile. Or that I would find stupid excuses to start conversations with them just to hear from them. Now I matched energy so hard we're just strangers.

That's a f**king flex?! Is that where we are? Pretending things don't matter is more of the energy we need in this world?

Social conditioning has taught me that I should preserve my ego & my pride as rule #1. Foolish people show their cards first.

I had this image of them walking away that night, thinking they meant nothing to me. I realized it didn't matter if it was reciprocated.
I don't want to match energy.
I want truth.

And there it was: I would (FOOLISHLY) rather them walk away because of things said than be left with things unsaid.

Sharing these responses, which were predominantly from Black men, so I really want to be sure I stay in my lane here - there's a lot that's out of my depth/experience - so please check me if I overstep in any way.

Why am I sharing? Simple - it's how we grow.

I know women who were curious about men's responses as it helps them better support & empathize with men in their lives.

For men, some may not know what it looks like until they hear others talking about it. It helps identify the things that feel off, but they've never been able to name.

A couple of observations from these conversations:

1) there was a common theme of heartbreak being overlooked or not seen as important. A lot of "oh well, hook up with the next one" type mentality, which completely disregards the person and what they're going through.
Breakups can be deep emotional turning points. If not processed or supported properly, it can be alchemized into something dark and sludgy.

2) realizing a lot of this has ties to men detangling from patriarchal thinking & actions. Which can result in loss of friendships that don't align outside of those frameworks.

As a woman, here's what came up for me: how incredibly difficult it is to identify the thing, while going through the thing, all while trying to get out of the thing. To put it visually - to be in a kayak that's taking on water, with people around you not offering help (some throwing weights in), so it's up to you to figure out how to stop the water/bailout what's in there, all while trying to get yourself out of it.
You're doing something that lifts you AND the collective, but it's an uphill battle (slippery icy uphill!)

It's a lot. If you're going through it, give yourself grace for how massive that all is.

The discussion about lack of support during breakups or losses, to me there's a clear thread on how that can hinder future relationships.

I can only speak for myself & these conversations were eye-opening. It reminded me of places I can show more empathy, and also ways I've fallen short with men in my life by pigeon-holing them to their past instead of acknowledging they're in a place of growth & transition.
