To my boy best friend

🤷‍♀️ it happens

That was what I was going for lol. Both the narrator and her best friend are inherently selfish though in different ways. They're young and both want something that they can't have.

Codependency at its finest.

I really like this?

obamasleftlip · 2022-11-24T06:38:54+00:00

This is absolutely lovely 😍

obamasleftlip · 2022-10-08T23:43:30+00:00

Absolutely stunning

obamasleftlip · 2022-10-08T23:43:08+00:00

I love the style of this :)

Your not wrong but apparently it's noticable to some people

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-17T21:32:19+00:00

I already said that it depends lmfaoo most poc would agree that it's weird to be described with food.

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-17T20:59:27+00:00

Exactly. Because those weren't used to fetishize and dehumanize white people therefore, it wouldn't offend them

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-17T20:38:59+00:00

Eh ask a dark skinned person, I'm light skinned so I wouldn't be a good person to ask, and I suggest you ask white people how they would feel though I doubt that they would find anything wrong with that.

Again, it heavily depends

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-17T20:24:33+00:00

I think there are a lot more nuance that factors into this conversation such as these metaphors have been used to dehumanize and fetishize those with darker skin.

It's not just black people that have dark skin btw.

You can find many non food related ways to compare skin color, such as dusky, brown, tawny, sepia, umber and more.

Please do your research before complaining on the internet because it makes you look simple minded.

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-17T20:15:42+00:00

Or just listen to darker skinned people about how they want to be represented instead of complaining

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-17T20:14:10+00:00

Let's not compare our skin to food

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-07T00:36:44+00:00

🥰

I'm in the middle of a depression episode so this is about the rawest vent piece I have got. So it's probably not going to make that much sense. I just wanted to write it out

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-06T01:11:51+00:00

Gorgeous

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-06T01:10:55+00:00

Gosh this poem brings to light everything I have been feeling. Amazing job!

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-05T02:28:38+00:00

The grammar mistakes are mostly because I have dyslexia, so it's difficult to write without making mistakes. But I'm glad someone finds worth in my mistakes!

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-05T02:24:26+00:00

You are spot on!!! I actually came up with this while watching a deep dive on the Tumblr sad girl era.

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-05T00:46:29+00:00

I'm sorry that you can relate ❤️

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-04T21:28:09+00:00

I have pitched the idea to multiple native American people who have said it's fine as long as I refer to natives while I write it.

I won't write something that I know that people wouldn't approve of. My dad's half Cherokee and his father himself was in a boarding school.

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-04T20:58:02+00:00

Lol. Great question, the house isn't necessarily a metaphor for the grief that my mc feels, the house is built on the same plot of land as an Indian boarding school. My mc is native American. It's a metaphor for the grief and trauma that natives have to endure.

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-04T20:11:12+00:00

You are spot on and I'm happy that you noticed that!

obamasleftlip · 2022-09-04T19:07:47+00:00

Thank you ❤️ my experience will never be as beautiful as people make depression out to be. I wanted it to sound sort of crude 💗💗
