I realize it never really feels right, unless it’s you and me.  You give me strength. You give me purpose.

QUEEN SUGAR S4E7: Of Several Centuries

[queensugardaily]

People need to hear that someone in your situation can thrive. I hoped you of all people would understand-- --Why me, ‘of all people’? Because you told Ralph Angel the truth about Blue despite the pain you knew it would cause. It’s an inspiration. And an example of the power of truth to heal the past.  --Did you even consider my son hearing these things about his mother? What I used to do, who I used to be?

--I am so sorry.  --It ain’t your fault. I ain’t blaming you. 

QUEEN SUGAR S4E3: Where My Body Stops or Begins

--When I first got sober, I would’ve injected caffeine into my arm if I could. Too much?  --No, not at all. It’s actually a relief, to be able to joke about it.

biancajasminelawson: I’m more proud of tonight’s #QueenSugar episode than anything else I’ve ever done. By nature I’m a private person and shy away from discussing personal matters in a public way. But I will say that addiction and trauma have been very close to me in my life. My hope is that people will come away from this episode feeling not so alone in their grief, their brokenness, their trauma, their internal battles and sadness. And that the people in THEIR life will have a greater empathy and compassion and understanding of what this journey is really like- and take a moment before being so quick to judge. The human experience is complex, this life journey is complex. It’s impossible to know the entire story from the outside. Sometimes we aren’t even aware of the memories buried inside of our bodies that the mind has forgotten because it was too much to bear. I dedicate tonight’s episode to all of the people on a ledge, suffering in silence. May you feel our love for you tonight. Our healing wishes for you. Our arms around you, holding you up, wishing you better days. I love you.

When the needle hits the groove, it’s like magic. You’ll see.

"It was the kind of place that only rents rooms by the hour. Star, in her drug-fueled haze, was splayed out on the bed, eyes rolled toward the ceiling, drifting in and out of consciousness. All the way, a snaggle-toothed John stinking of stale cigarettes and cheap whiskey, was on top of her, sweating and pumping away. There was no tenderness, only the stench of desperation and soiled sheets. Discarded in the corner was her baby, sleeping fitfully.“
