"How can any girl sustain the belief that she is loved, truly loved, when all around her she sees that femaleness is despised? Unable to change the fact of femaleness, she strives to maker herself over, to become someone worthy of love."

- bell hooks, Communion: The Female Search for Love (via femmenoire)
this book was the beginning of much confessional, honesty, and a regime to heal based on self-care. we thank god that there are women brave enough to expose themselves so intimately and openly, that we too begin to join them in our very own journeys.
