   All three of us models are very successful in our careers, but because in the fashion industry "there's only one black girl allowed", they've made us compete to be that one girl. Beyoncé allowed us to show the world that we don't have to fight against each other. She gave us the chance to see that we [black models] are far more powerful together.

   "Don't say that. You know how much you mean to me. I'm sorry it's not in the way that you want, but that's just how it is. You're my best friend. At least, you used to be. And still sometimes are . . . when you let your guard down."
   He smiled the old smile that I loved. "I'm always that," he promised. "Even when I don't . . . behave as well as I should. Underneath, I'm always in here."
   "I know. Why else would I put up with all of your crap?"

    1. If you like someone, wait.
    2. Give lots of compliments, even if you’re shy. Everyone else is too.
    3. Change. Get a haircut, try new perfume, get new sheets. Become better than you were before.
    4. Eat healthier. Learn to cook something fancy.
    5. Get up earlier and watch the sun come up.
    6. Wear soft clothes, take a bath, drink something warm.
    7. Meet someone new, even just a friend.
    8. Become closer with your friends and your family. Call your mother. Cry with your best friend. Tell everyone how much you appreciate them.
    9. Keep your room clean. Buy some candles. Let the natural light in.
    10. Make a list of reasons why you’ll be better off without them. Believe they are true, because they are.
    11. Listen to new music.
    12. Write everything you’re thinking and feeling. Write letters. Write happy letters, sad letters, and angry letters, even if you’re never going to send them.
    13. It’s okay to be sad, but not forever. Sadness is not as beautiful as music makes it seem. Lack of sleep makes your eyes droopy, not deep. Wake up every morning and tell yourself you’re going to have a good day.
    14. Go to the library. Don’t forget to look in the music section.
    15. Remove them from your life. Get rid of the things they gave you if they make you sad. They’re not worth it. You will never be happy if you continue to hold on to the things that make you sad.
    16. Make new memories.
    17. Try to find something to appreciate in everything you do or experience.
    18. Being alone is okay, you don’t have to surround yourself with people.
    19. Become your own best friend. Buy yourself coffee and drink it alone in a cafe. Take your time.
    20. Learn to love every bit of yourself.

    The Boy looks at him, face twitching but making an effort to be still. “Repeat after me.”
    The Boy grins at him, eyes sliding left, down, up, back to center.
    “I love you.”
    “I love you.”
    “No. Repeat— I,” he presses a fist into his chest, “love you,” the fist finds The Boy’s breastbone.
    He looks confused for a moment, then says, slowly, “You love me.”
    “Yes. I love you and I’m not going to leave you.”
    “You love me and you’re not going to leave me.”
    “I love you and I’m not going to leave you.”
    “You love me and you’re not going to leave me.”
    “I love you. I’m not going to leave you.”
    “You love me. You’re not going to leave me.”
    “I really do. I’m really not.”
    “You really do. You’re really not.”
    “If I get sent to prison—” he raises his eyebrows at The Boy’s giggle.
    “If you get sent to prison—”
    “I still won’t leave you.”
    “You still won’t leave me. Because I’ll probably be arrested for the same—”
    “If they bring back the draft and I’m sent overseas—”
    “Oh my God. If they bring back the draft and you’re sent overseas—”
    “I still won’t leave you.”
    “You still won’t leave me.”
    “If I die—”
    “No.”
    “If I die—”
    “No. That’s enough.” He presses down harder with his knees.
    “If. I. Die.”
    The Boy stares at him in silence, then trails fingers over the bones of his best friend's knees.
    “If you die,” it’s barely a whisper.
    “I still won’t leave you.”
    “You still won’t leave me. ‘Cause I’ll die too. I will.”
    “That’s not what I’m saying. Repeat. I won’t leave you.”
    “You won’t leave me.”
    “I will haunt you—”
    “You will haunt me—”
    “All the days of your life.”
    “All the days of my life.”
    “Because the way you love me—”
    “Because the way I love you—”
    “Is perfect.”
    “No.”
    “Is perfect.”
    “No.”
    “Is perfect.”
    “Is perfect.”

    he is stronger than you will ever be
    picture this.
    it's bitter cold out and you know he loves you and you're so sorry because
    you don't love him and you never have.
    and you're sorry and he tells you that being with you is like punching a wall out of anger,
    you're bleeding, you're hurt, but you feel satisfied, too.
    it's bitter cold out and you're shaking but it's not the cold that's making your bones feel thin and frail
    it's the way he's standing.
    your knees start to shake and his posture is defeated and fragile
    like a man who carries the sins of the whole world
    and knows it.
    You would think it's a weak person who loves with all their heart
    but it's quite the contrary.
    it takes a very strong person to give away love,
    and you lost the ability to do that a long time ago
    when you watched your father get buried six feet
    underneath dirt that was damp and cold.
    you promised yourself never to love someone
    again because it hurts too much
    and you've hurt so much.
    picture this.
    it's bitter cold out and you're the reason he's crying.
    it's bitter cold out and your knees shake when you tell him
    you don't love him and you never have.

    The mainstream feminism that people often picture is often very, very, very......inclusive? And as I have become more comfortable in my skin as a woman of colour, I have realized that the mainstream feminism movement is one that I can't really align with.
    Many feminists that I have encountered focus on issues that can only offer liberation in a form that would only liberate them and women that look like them -- the same skin, the same gender, the same body type...
    If I were to even look through the quotes on Witty that were tagged under "feminism", excluding the occasional quotes that are against feminism, I would see quotes that were focused on (but are not limited to) accepting all cis, white body types.
    And, well, not all women are white. And the stigma that many women of colour face from racisgetting around the censorm added onto the stigma of misogyny is one that the mainstream feminism is not able to accomadate.
    Intersectionalism in the mainstream feminism movement falls short. In theory, there would be more conversation amongst deconstructing the structure which upholds the idea that all women are the same and white feminists would be able to use their privilege to persuade others that idea needs to be abolished while being able to fight for liberation of all women. And, I'm sure, many feminists that are aligned with the movement realize this. However when it comes down to it, many feminists still use the same rhetoric that focus on the same ideas that lack intersection. Intersectionalism is not reading a few quotes from bell hoooks and other women of colour and reiterating it, it is actually including women of colour, women of colour who don't fit into the gender binaries, women of colour who may not fit into the cisgendered portrait into the movement.
    Many feminists are still ragetting around the censorcist, transphobic, homophobic -- you name it. And (again, using Witty as an example) if I were to just go through the quotes on Witty, I would be able to find a few people that can grasp their mind around the fact that white women are still confined by the shackles of the patriarchy but can't do the same about the fact that women of colour that have to endure racigetting around the censorsm-fueled sexism.
