There is something viscerally exhausting about wanting to write a story and being stymied because I have to decide if I can really tell it because all of my lived experience is colored by racism and I'm tired of all black stories being about racism

#it's so many facets to what I'm talking about and #like i really just cannot convey it in a few simple sentences #when i say everything i really do mean EVERYTHING #especially because this character is 10000% a self insert and like #it's not even about cringe or vulnerabilities or whatever #it's literally 'i know for a fact several pivotal experiences that shaped my life only happened the way they did because of racism'#but also this is supposed to be like a cozy romance #i don't really want to include racism but also like I'm attempting some psychological processing here lol #*long negro spiritual sigh*
