I watched Game 1 of the Finals, Minnesota Lynx vs New York Liberty, in New York.
The game was phenomenal, especially as the Lynx made that amazing comeback thanks to Courtney Williams!! I was very neutral at first, but I certainly didn't want a blow out. So as I saw them coming back I started going for the Lynx since they had more on the line, plus that loud crowd they had to overcome! So I was ecstatic when Courtney Williams hit that clutch 3 as she was falling to the ground. She was fired up right after the time out before hitting the shot.
I absolutely love the WNBA women's energy, passion, confidence, looks & beauty, and their skills. They be hitting some 3's!! I so love how they are, or at least act so free to be themselves, every apsect from head to toe. 
They seem to know who they are inside and out. And they don't shrink their greatness to make insecure idiots feel better about themselves.
I just love everything I saw about the Finals, game 1.

I was not going to watch! Because I had stopped watching after that injustice with Jordan Chiles in those horrid Olympics, I stopped at that moment being able to enjoy the Olympics. So not only did I skip the closing ceremonies and was still fuming with hurt and anger, I missed the USA Women win the gold medal game.
Listen, I was so distraught about what they did to Jordan Chiles I had tapped out of everything.

So when the Olympics ended and WNBA started back up, I did not have the spirit or mentality to watch anything that keeps reminding me of mistreatment and inequality of women who look like me.
SIck of it. Deep pain. Healing needed.

ANd then in the middle of September, as my birthday started to roll around, I had a major success breakthrough from all the work I put into my healing, using what I learned from therapy.
So I discovered, and only I could, not my therapist, family, preacher, no one...only I could get to the root of my emotional, mental, and spiritual pain and distress. So since then, I have been doing so much better, from deep in my soul and mind, absolutely deep true healing has begun.

However, I still wasn't sure and wasn't feeling like I wanted to go back to the WNBA since it (the mistreatment, unequal treatment of the Black women in comparison to Clark) was the primary catalyst that sent me over the edge this year, then, the Jordan Chiles injustice.
Even though I had an amazing breakthrough I didn't want to rush back into my old activities and entertainment.
I asked my therapist if I would get healthy enough to watch the WNBA, knowing all the race issues & how it affected me, so is it possible I'd be able to still enjoy it?
He said it will take some time but yes, I will be able to watch it again. I really didn't expect that answer because I had so much rage wrapped up into all this crap.

The media, the online bullying, the league's silence, Clark's silence...just all too much. How can I ever enjoy a game again?

But I understood where he was coming from when he said it's like after people lose someone (Of course circumstances & details matter). But generally, at first, it's the most difficult thing in the world at first when the person's birthday comes around, holidays, etc but as time goes on you start being able to move forward but it doesn't mean you forget the person nor do you forget the pain. It's just that the pain won't take you to the deepest levels of despair. But you'll still remember everything, it just won't hurt as bad. (Again, this is in general. There are many cases where I can't imagine, I'm sure no one can imagine or grasp the grieving process for loved ones).

So yeah, that made complete sense to me!
So I was not sure at all but decided I'd go ahead and give the game a try and see how I felt. Yay me! And congratulations to both teams, full of inspiring and phenomenal women!

I have not felt like posting. It's been incredibly difficult, everything has, been too difficult to log on to the Internet. 
Not long after watching the finals I realized that "I went back to the WNBA" needs to be updated to "And I left again."

While watching one of the games, the announcers read a weak, pathetic statement from the WNBA regarding these women's safety. As I have said in my other posts on different topics here, no one in power is doing anything to protect people who need protecting. Thugged out meth head Clark "fans" are allowed to spread their diseased breaths, their  their filth, their stenched souls as nothing nothing nothing is ever done about these people, no matter the location, no matter the topic, no matter the sport, no matter....nothing.
As long as they're white, they are allowed to destroy everything and everyone in their paths.

But Black people are not helpless. There are plenty of powerful, wealthy Black people who can stand up, speak out...just like for Jordan Chiles, there is always silent.
And even if not powerful and wealthy, you can be powerful if you organize and humble yourselves for something, like how New Era Chicago, New Era Detroit, Black Panthers and things of that nature. And it doesn't always take a title. Just a group of people get together and say hey, "We're gonna protect this player"

And anti-racist white people should do tons and tons of work to shame the others, fire them, kick them out, have them arrested...so on and so on. 
Look how Black people shame Black people for wearing bonnets and minding their own business. Would be nice, if anyone of any color would hold racists accountable but oh no, everyone too busy bullying the Black people who just minding their business and living their lives.
Too busy on trash like the Shade Room and Breakfast Club (I hope they all get food poisoning) and I'm sure so so so many more I don't know about, thankfully. Trash!
So you're on your own, truly. All about self and family because there is no concept of having basic respect for another Black person, and not tearing them down while the rest of the world does a good enough job of that. 
Like, how hard is it to NOT talk about someone you don't like, and not go in their comment sections, not make dumb memes etc. The fact that so many Black people/pages/sites go out of their way to hunt down other Black people and bully them...
Chile, i'm just too tired and sick

All the typing in the world can't convey my hurt. I'll just be glad when this phase of hurting over Black injustice including Black people hating Black people, is over for me and hopefully to never ever return
I was elated and going to watch the league Unrivaled, but since Kamala lost that fake election, I really need to pull away from everything in this society right now.
I think I'll start to heal again and be okay, but I'm not close to that point. I'm exhausted.
Gotta continue to let go of it all, detach, divest...be done with everyone except my own circle

Last post about hurt & pain for awhile, and then I'm going to do my best to get back to art.
Demowacks had all these years and years to put Tramp in his place even way back regarding 2008 Obama....then they certainly could have fought to have him disqualified to run the 1st time. But these suckers don't know the meaning of fight. They are actually still Republicans, still antiBlack, still supremacists so that's why they have never ever ever done a damn thing to specifically provide equality and justice to Black people and that's why they didn't work to disqualify Tramp from running again.

The only difference between the Demowacks and Republicans is the Demowacks have more Black faces in high places. That's it! They are useless, they have no passion, no message, no purpose. 

My hatred for them had me on fire inside but again, I'm slowly starting to regroup myself and baby, I AM DONE with this society. I already was done before this election atrocity, but I only stepped back in to support amazing Black woman (WNBA, Coco Gauff, Olympics, Kamala) but each time ended in heartbreak, so yeah, I'm just outdone. I am at least glad the WNBA women are doing okay, Jordan Chiles & Simone are okay, Cocoa is okay but really, I want them to just all break away from the Internet. I hate to see all of them saying how much their mental health has been affected. I just saw where Cocoa said that. 

I can't imagine though, you're a public figure so yeah, you want to see what's on your own page. It's just horrific what Black people who just minding their own business keep going through. I love these amazing women but I've got to completely divest from everything regarding this society, heal, and I hope the other ladies that I hurt so much for, find out what they have to do to find peace and healing. I can't think of anything besides treating the Internet and social media like the unimaginable torture they are and keeping it out of your life

(Posted on FB...in which, I'm going to deactivate again)

I'm glad I've recovered enough where I can now laugh at myself about that fake election. I thought we were going to win in a landslide 🤣🤣 They hacked it.
Election night, when 1% of the votes were in for just a few counties in 1 state, I knew something was off. Your rallies are empty and you don't show up at your own rallies and then you got a monumental lead the entire night?
Give me a break.
Fake election. Fake news. Fake red ballots. Fake president.
I had to turn the TV off even before half the states were in. I told my niece, text me when we get some good news. 🤣🤣
As I have stated for the past 10 years, I don't care anything about this country. I only cared about Kamala. She put her heart and soul into these 100 days and was over qualified for the job.
When we lost I felt like I was dying inside, but only because I like her. This country both blue and red can and should burn like I been saying since Trayvon Martin. I just like Kamala and only her lol.
I been calling them the Demowacks for years. Kamala's too smart & passionate for the Demowacks. Anyway I been tuned out, didn't follow the news the past 4 few years. I didn't even know how much of a mess both Biden and Tramp looked until a few months ago when all the drama went down. I was like "Biden got that old? Tramp got that ugly?"
I mean, the US gonna have the most unattractive President on the globe next year. How embarrassing.
🤣🤣
Anyway, I just wanted and needed to laugh at myself before I deactivate my accounts again. I was devastated so it's awesome to be able to laugh.
So, instead of letting social media and the Internet murder what's left of my mental health, lol, it ain't worth it! This is what I spend my free time doing and I promise you, it's so tremendously helpful to healing my mind and works beautifully.
This is what I learned in therapy, find something you love and do it on a regular scheduled basis. Don't wait until you are distressed, keep doing it until it becomes routine for you.
For me it's: (all offline)
❤ different types of solitaire. Free cell is my favorite.
🧡Lots of word and number puzzles, and mazes and things like that. I haven't been able to figure out Sudoku yet, but there's also Loco Sudoku, Sumoku, Vortex Crosswords, Hitori, Word Division, Cryptograms, Word Mosaics and so on
I love these types of puzzles where you read the directions and be like....huh? What? Lol. I used to love Algebra and trying to find patterns, strategies & solutions for problems so maybe that's why I love these puzzles so much
💛I also love the picture puzzles. I got some 100 piece puzzles; I look forward to 500 and 1000 piece etc.
💚Coloring Books
💙I know someone who uses Legos to build things.
-So yeah, my brain is so trained for those activities that it's now normal to me, while screen time and social media is abnormal to my mind now, so it takes me forever to make a post because it feels so weird now.
