Exploring themes on the #intrinsic and #extrinsic self led me to discover transformative and deeply reflective #poetry 🖋

One can experience the extrinsic moving in synchronicity with the intrinsic as eloquence of expression embeds depth in reflections through poetry embodied and exposed by @j.j.celli .

What I learned from #America is that the US system is biased against African-American people who suffer by risking own lives just to stay alive. . . .
What I learned from #Apartheid is that literally anyone who wasn’t full-White suffered but that #BlackPeople were already penalised prior to Apartheid. .

Why I have to post this is because of the sacrifices leaders like #MartinLurtherKingJr. and #NelsonMandela made so that people like George Floyd wouldn’t become sacrifices, but...

. ...“When you try so hard to put faith in this system, a system that you know isn't designed for you, when you constantly seek justice by lawful means and you can't get it, you begin to take the law into your own hands,” Harris, Floyd’s closest friend, explains the US protests. (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52861726) .

It’s really not only ‘George Floyd’s death’ that sparked the protests, rather centuries and centuries of buildup against a system that, till this day, cross continentally, still oppresses, suppresses, denies #equalopportunities and #respect of non-white, especially Black People in the world and African-American People in the US, as early as community and education.

I know we all have opinions or emotions on the matter, and that’s good, because it’s the ones feeling nothing who are oppressed, so #educate with #empathy and #embrace each other’s experiences.
#Unity and #equality start with each individual tackling injustice whenever we can in ways that are #respectful of each other’s #humanity. .

When it comes to socialising, I prefer typed and written dialogue because verbal conversations exhaust me to the point where my only #copingmechanism is to vent. .

For a few hours. 😤

...because not being able to comprehend what a peer is attempting to communicate is a highly frustrating and ridiculously tedious process that drains my brain and results in my need to force empathy so that others can experience what it is I feel when subjected to conversations that are riddled with mainstream syntax with superficial intent disguised by an ambiguous use of a thesaurus rather than saying what is meant, such as, .

A love built on trust and transparency
That is a love that is real”

...well... there’s always the ‘#apostrophe’ for times when #shallow #breathing can #helpful like when we wear masks then shallow breaths are #refreshing because #commas are #deepbreaths and apostrophes are #hiccups... .

...and then the #period comes and just puts an end to all of it. 🤓 .
