 I am removing myself from any situation where I am tolerated and not celebrated. Remove yourself from any and every situation where you are tolerated and not celebrated. If you "can’t leave" right now, plan on it. People may just be tolerating you for what you can do for them. How do you know that you are tolerated? Simply…you don’t feel grace with them. You might work with them or go to school with them. There may be one specific person that you are constantly needing validation from. They stick around for what you can do for them. If there is something to benefit you then you might consider working something out so that feelings are more manageable for both parties. It is not healthy to go day in and day out constantly surrounded by people who don't like you. One person that does not like you can make you feel like the whole world does not like you. You deserve to be loved. Sometimes hatred or indifference is disguised as simply just not being celebratory. You should have people around you that are jumping around for joy at your arrival and in your presence. Those people are not always going to be there, but there is potential for them to be there. Do not lose hope in forming a network of people around you that love you. Jesus will always love you.

 When I go for things and don't get them I should still be proud of myself for having the courage to try.  God accepts me as I am. In this world there is so much hatred towards women. Not only is there hatred towards women, but there is so much hatred towards women of color. There is indifference and a lack of concern for us in the atmosphere. It sucks and it's hard to cope sometimes. It is especially hard to cope when your own people who look like you are not concerned about you. There is a misconception that Black and Brown women "don't need no man." There is a misconception that Black and Brown women can handle the load. We are strong because we have had to be to survive. We've pushed through. We are still fragile and need love just as much as other races. When we are constantly abused and mistreated it takes a toll on our state of minds. It causes a chain reaction and it causes mistrust. We build our walls and close our doors. Although the perception of Black and Brown women may never be able to change in our lifetime we can still control how we view ourselves and the people who we let into our lives. We must remember that God accepts us as we are so we can heal. We must love ourselves and affirm ourselves a little more than the next woman who gets affirmed every time she walks outside. This may not be your reality but it's the reality of many. I ask that you are respectful to peoples perspectives. Protect the women around you of all races. Go the extra mile to protect the integrity of the Black and Brown women around you. We need kind and understanding people around us even when we are under the influence of our pain. Remember that God accepts you as you are...whoever you are.  Lovely Personality Having a lovely personality is what I desire. My sense of style is unmatched. I treat people kind. Sometimes I see people that look different than me that act crazy. I avoid violence at all costs. I want to keep everyone safe. Everyone who acts crazy or seems lost can be changed. If peoples differences are not violent I don't have to change them. They still deserve the same water and air as me. Everyone that looks crazy to me has a special purpose. They can be a new person. Everyone deserves to be here. Everyone is deserving of grace. I walk away from situations that make me angry. My love pours out for people unconditionally. Not everyone deserves my time. I walk in purity. Not every nice thing I do needs an audience or my peers approval. I know I can never walk in your shoes, but if you are near me I will be a comfort to you. |
Author & IllustratorHi, I'm CurlyDollTati! Nice for you to join me. I am an illustrator from Southern California. My love for illustration was encouraged by many throughout my life.

CurlyDollTati is a representation of me...Tatiana..and the vision that I have to create a world of diversity in art. Here all races of women can come together to celebrate what makes us unique.
