“She tried to teach me then,there is no such thing as a curse.Her life had been touched by tragedy&loss,but she didn’t need to call it anything but what it was-A life.But mamie was always someone who laughed in the face of crisis,danced while grieving,forbade anyone to dictate the boundary of her possibilities.But How could curses not exist when everything around me was crumbling?”

“My allegiance for mommie’s desire for concealment went up in flames.I stared at an empty space within myself where shame used to be.Shame had once been a foundational emotion that I had built myself on top of.Now that foundational stone no longer fit.Whatever parts of mommie’s shame or worry that I had subconsciously absorbed or willfully taken were gone.”
