We never thought some guy would deliberately fill our hearts with brown sugar and then pour hot water all over it.

At least be a nice lesbian or you're going to give the rest a bad rap.

Look, as my mama always said, 'One monkey don't stop no show.
heart divorce suffering
We get divorce, we get conned, someone we love dies, or we can't find anybody to love us or somebody breaks our heart and we realize this fairy tale ain't fair. So we suffer.

What I do know is sometimes we love the wrong people and sometimes we marry them.

Why is it that if you happen to be black and over six feet tall, everybody thinks you supposed to play basketball or football?

I been saying it for years: church is full of sneaky men posing as honest souls, and they are perpetuators our here looking for women just like you, with giant holes in your hearts, and they can smell when you got a good job and when you lonely as hell.
waiting i-can
I can't stand that - those women in 'Waiting to Exhale' now. I can't stand them. But that's because I'm 53 and not 33. But what they were experiencing at 33, I identified with it.
