Most
of the "we're Black and living in an oppressed state and therefore we
should represent ourselves better to create better communities"
literature and banter comes from the perspective that I should have to
DO something to be a good black person. I used to be a doer. I did all
kinds of things. In fact, I got awarded and praised for all the shit I
did. But doing shit left me tired, unfulfilled, jaded, and overall
pissed at everybody who didn't appreciate the shit I did. So I have
changed my perspective.
These days, I don't believe in doing anything. In fact, I believe that doing less enables my true nature to emerge. The less I do, the more beautiful the world looks, as it is allowed to be itself without my influence...so I get to see the world...not my imposition on the world.
Also, doing nothing saves energy for me to do what I want to do when I want to do it. I only like to do a few things: cook, make music, and take baths. Everything else is either me preparing to cook, make music, take baths, or cleaning up from cooking, making music and taking baths. When I'm doing shit I don't want to do, I wanna get it done asap so I can spend more time not doing a damn thing.
So what's your point Blue? My point is this: real freedom is not having to do a damn thing...especially not for a damn body else...to justify existing in my skin. Real freedom is my human being.
Love,
Blue
