When Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all three charges surrounding his murder of George Floyd, the conversation found on Tumblr (and elsewhere online) reflected two major points:

This is not justice being served. There is no justice in the face of murder, and if there were, it certainly would not be found within the American carceral system. The verdict stemming from this trial will not stop the violence and oppression Black people face at the hands of an over-policed country.

“Black people don’t need reminders that Chauvin’s guilty verdict doesn’t mean the fight is over. It’s okay to celebrate small victories.”

These truths are not at odds with each other. They can, and will, co-exist.

Take a moment today to celebrate George Floyd and his beautiful family. Keep his little daughter in your mind and hearts. If you want to feel a bit of relief that at least one person was found guilty for their hateful, heinous crime—please do so. And then remember that it was just one person. Remember that if you are an ally and an accomplice, you must not stop learning. You must not stop fighting for real justice.

Accountability for police killings is rare:

Since 2005, 140 law enforcement officers have been arrested for on-duty manslaughter and murder. Only 8—5%—have been convicted.

And that doesn’t account for the 98% of police killings where there were no arrests for murder or manslaughter.

Black people are three times more likely to be killed by police

And then yesterday, roughly one hour after Nancy Pelosi thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing” his “life for justice,” police in Columbus, Ohio shot and killed 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant.

That is not what justice looks like.

Rest in power, George Floyd.

Rest in power, Ma’Khia Bryant.

Validating your own emotions is the first step to letting go.

Without validating you commit the ultimate crime: self betrayal.

There’s a reason, whether it’s wrong or right, that is impacting you to feel the way you do. Your body and mind is having a natural response it doesn’t help when you deny this very response is happening since IT IS happening.

No matter how much you ignore and refuse to feel it because you know better, it pushes you farther away from connecting with yourself and truly moving ahead. The worst part? When ignoring yourself for too long, It will push and push to be heard. You’ll most likely end up self sabotaging in daily life without realizing, your physical/mental health will start to act up.

Then feel it. Feel what’s inside of you. Cry through it, scream through it, exercise or break things safely through it, anything. But you must be present with yourself like a mother being next to their child. You have to treat yourself as kindly as a healthy mother would for their child. If you don’t validate and feel you’ll never be able to let go of anything that interrupts your well-being. If you have a web of trauma interfering with letting go, take it slow. Take your time with validating and feeling. Do this method of validating and feeling with a therapist if you’re uncomfortable doing this alone. Validating and feeling AND THEN deciding on what to do to move forward is the only way the plan of moving forward can work.

Validate your feelings, emotions, pain. Feel and be present with yourself through it all. Only then can you move forward to try to solve, change, heal or let go.
