Grudge Stitch for Fathers Day | in the form of the Afro-Carolinian Quilt Stitch
Refusing to forgive is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die
but what if he does die, maybe just this once, isn’t it worth it to keep trying?
You can’t let it stick to you, gotta let it roll like water off a duck’s back
but what if I’m less duck-back and more soil or swamp and I’m supposed to hold water?
You are what you eat
but what does that make me if all I’ve ever swallowed has made me into hunger?
Honor thy father
no, not until he honors me back
