- it's okay. be sad. be angry. be numb. you have every right to, and you're not alone in doing so.⁣⁠
- writing helps. write it out.⁣⁠

- be one, for real. upfront. use your voice.⁣⁠
- have the difficult conversations with your loved ones. educate them to not view our skin color and our lives as less than theirs. educate them on privilege. tell them why we are so angry.⁣⁠
- ask questions. gain a better understanding. ask about what you can do.⁣⁠
- hold yourself and those around you accountable for their racist actions.⁣⁠
- stop looking away.⁣⁠

- again, it's okay. be sad. be angry. be numb. you have every right to, and you're not alone in doing so.⁣⁠
- take the time you need. take a sick day. turn off social media. healthily isolate to center yourself. avoid the news. do what you have to in order to maintain some peace.⁣⁠
- you don't have to carry the burden of educating white people or other non-poc. if they want to understand, they'll find a way. do not engage if it means you forfeiting your sanity.⁣⁠

covid-19 may have destroyed our original birthday

covid-19 may have destroyed our original birthday plans, but it didn't stop the celebrations. mr. smith's birthday was yesterday... and i'm honestly not entirely sure how we made it "into" work this morning with having the last 6 days off 😂.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
as i reflect on this next year of life for you, i am beyond thankful that you get to see year 29 and pray with all my heart that you will continue to see the birthdays to follow. since moving to AZ, we've found a peace in this new adventure but i've also welcomed a new fear as we now live in a state where owning a gun doesn't require a license.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
we both felt silly having a covid-19 birthday celebration, just us two, but i think it was needed to remind us to enjoy the life we've been afforded, as so many of us that look like us do not get to do the same.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
this last year of your 20s will be everything and more, mr. smith. ⁣to the moon and back. 💕⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
p.s. this also means i get to be 10 times as annoying next year when we celebrate your 30th.

protecting my peace became a priority back in 2013

protecting my peace became a priority back in 2013 when my previous therapist and i determined my triggers and their origins. it was actually terrifying doing so because we had to recover bits and pieces of my childhood using hypnosis and emdr because i had forcefully blocked them out. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
so essentially, i had to relive those experiences. 1/10. do not recommend.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
but with doing so, i discovered why i attract certain soul suckers, and why i was so desperate to be amicable with those who rob me of my peace and energy. i learned why crowded places trigger my anxiety and why specific phrases will make me blackout on your ass.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
these two cards sit deep with me because believe it or not, i've spent most of my adulthood trying to not be seen, and treading on eggshells in hopes of not hurting other people's feelings.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
so here is today's reminder. ⁣⁠
fuck their feelings.⁠

⁣⁠
my name is yetti. by day, i am an engineer, and in-between everything else, i'm a mental wellness creative and an award-winning blogger. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝗶 𝗮𝗺 𝗮 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
i never thought i'd have to highlight this, but here we are. in 2020. over the last few weeks, i've gotten more dms about the content i share and how it's not "inclusive." i don't specify who my content is for because mental health advocacy and awareness is for everyone. but my struggles, my wins, my culture + mindset, etc? They are that of a black woman. i'm not sure how anyone could expect me to separate that from the content i share, but i won't. i can't.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
i write, create, facilitate workshops, champion, and get it poppin` on a handstand for mental health and self-love because growing up, no one spoke about it. I found myself in 2011, googling ways to self-care and self-love, and when there was little to nothing that resonated with me, I decided to document my own journey and found healing through it. ⁣⁠
⁣⁠
so i kind of stuck with it. i've also created some pretty fucking amazing affirmation cards that i know you'll love. ⁣⁠link in bio!

✨ i live in arizona with my love, but my heart will always belong to the east coast. don't tell him i said this.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
✨ brunch is my love language. and if it doesn't include french toast and liquor, it's not a real brunch.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
✨ i curse like a sailor, but i try to keep it cute for y'all on al gore's internet.⁣⁠
⁣⁠
✨ this will probably be the last time you see me with my eyebrows drawn in because the way Rona is exposing my unruliness right now? this is the ultimate test of self-love. 😂⁣⁠

🍃spent my weekend doing less than normal, eating breakfast foods for every meal, and being loved on immensely. there are very few better feelings than this. i said what i said.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🍃mr. smith hunted down some pretty impressive lilies for our anniversary. unfortunately, i killed them within a few days 😂. so after @chasingdenisse and @santaraflowers did a live on how to make a floral arrangement utilizing grocery store flowers, i ventured to trader joes to try and create my own. the lilies haven't opened up yet... but look. at. the. prettiness. (this also led to plants being bought. pray for them.)⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🍃my anxiety has been behaving herself lately, and the heaviness i've been feeling these last couple of weeks seems to be disappearing. we thank sweet baby jesus.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🍃this weekend I sat on a @rawlybold panel with @littlemaisunshine, @kailyn.icole, and @werisetherapy discussing breaking down mental-health barriers within black and brown communities. i'm happy because it was one of my first major partnerships this year, but i'm ecstatic because the conversation was so real and needed. i feel like we all left that roundtable feeling lighter, braver, and seen.⁣⁣⁠
⁣⁣⁠
🍃as much as he makes my blood boil, i've been missing my baby brother @dirana73. he always knows when to show up for me. this weekend was no different.⁣⁣⁠
