Yolanda’s Notes & Highlights

See Yolanda’s 42 books with notes and highlights…

“i loved you on purpose
i was open on purpose
i still crave vulnerability & close talk
& i'm not even sorry bout you bein sorry
you can carry all the guilt & grime ya wanna
just dont give it to me
i cant use another sorry
next time
you should admit
you're mean/ low-down/ triflin/ & no count straight out
steada bein sorry alla the time
enjoy bein yrself”
― Ntozake Shange, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf
