After therapy, just be hot
You’ve spilled your guts to your mental healthcare worker. Soiled tissues with your tears and snot tossed into the rubbish bin. Eyes puffy, breath shaky, and your head a little sore.

Love? Sometimes there is no way but to be desperate
I created desperate for him as an ode to one of the people whom I have no business loving.

In honor of a love, that I’m still not ready to let go, I curated calling it quits. Why? Because I too need “Dash through the door, hightail on the highway and get the hell out of that love.”

Megan Thee Stallion's Hot Girl Summer Is The Sisterhood We Need In 2019
It is mid-winter in South Africa, but I can't help but draw hope from Megan Thee Stallion's brand of self-love and confidence. From the terminology to the international digital community, her music and brand are infectious.
