Last night this bitch sat at home and tried to remember why the hell I keep giving a shit about all manner of things.
Sometimes it feels like no one else does (which is a wee bit heavy on the self pity) and sometimes it feels as if everyone else is counting on someone else to tackle the shit that needs to be tackled (which is probably painfully accurate).
Anyhoo, a bitch was wearily spent (even AngryBlackBitches get tired as hell)…which is actually a good space to be in for mental claritude. By the time Mad Men came on the telly (my newest guilty pleasure) my mind had settled and my soul was at peace.
Note – some people have affirmations…this bitch has bitchfirmations…
Bitchfirmation for the emotionally spent…
I have been blessed with the love of my family…for a reason.
I have the gift of fantabulous friends and their support…for a reason.
I have my health…for a reason.
I have my mind and my voice…for a reason.
I give a shit….for a reason.
And I woke up today…empowered, militant and defiant…for a reason.
If we don’t speak for ourselves some dumb motherfucker will speak for us…decide for us…live for us…and own us.
So, I practice the fine art of bitchitude for that reason.
Ah…clarity has been achieved.

OMG, you were right on time with this post! It's been Hell Week in my life, and I haven't had time to focus on some very difficult things that have happened this week, as it was the culminating week for a sort of grassroots parents' group I'm helping organize (advocating for students of color) and we were presenting to the superintendent himself -- exhausting week, just leave it at that. We had a great result though, and reading your words reminds me that it's worth it, and it's a responsibility and a privilege to have a voice.
Thanks for the gentle asskick to get up and keep on going. You rock.
Amen sista.

With your permission (and with attribution) I would like to print your Bitchfirmation out and hang it somewhere where I can see it on a daily basis. Let me know if I have permission.
You ROCK!
When you fight the good fight, sometimes you get to feeling like you are alone. You are not. There are many of us to come to you to know that we are not alone, because even when you are down, you help us get up again.
Thank you.
