Of a black gal going on a spree telling other black gals that they're beautiful.

I, umm...I got this shit on loop. On repeat. I just...I hear myself every single time she asks "Did you know...that you're beautiful!" and I hear myself every single time a girl says "I did know!" or "Uhh...well now I do because you just told me!" or "Aww! Thank you!" or "Umm...no."

I hear and feel in my heart every time the question is asked and I hear and feel in my heart every single kind of answer. I hear it. I feel it. This be my life.

...Now I'm tearing up like a motherfucker at my computer desk when I have eleventy-billion things to write before school starts again on Jan. 8th. Ahhh, here comes the waterworks anyway...


So, yeah. Fellow black gals, didja know...that you're beautiful? Ya betta know because you are!

That is very kind of her. >//> I'm glad that you found this.

I see a lot of the same kind of thing on Trans Girl Twitter. People are very supportive of each other, and call each other cute all the time, generally not to flirt but to affirm each other's cuteness.

With that in mind, I haven't seen a picture of you but I consider you beautiful also.

Indeed it is so kind of her! So very, very, very kind!! And I'm so glad your fellow trans sisters are supportive of each other. We marginalized folks gotta stick together, huh?

Uhh...a picture of me, you say?! Why, here's the best one, if you like! I took this last winter: https://amarie24.dreamwidth.org/76890.html
