Alice Walker Quote

What’s Up With Me?

I came across this Alice Walker quote quite randomly and decided to share it because it’s something I believe so strongly. I think people often don’t realise just how much power they have and underestimate themselves or let others make them feel inferior. No matter how hard life gets, we must remember how strong and resilient we are.

When I read the name Alice Walker, I was like that name sounds so familiar I’m sure I’ve read a book by her. So I Googled her and I was right, I have read a book by her- The Color Purple. It’s quite well known so I’m sure most of you are familiar with it. It’s one of those books that stays with you.

For anyone wondering, I’m feeling a lot better now. I had the flu last week and some symptoms linger on like feeling exhausted and a stuffy nose but for the most part I’m getting better. I had the most insane experience of being sick this time which I’ll share on a different post but it’s been an amusing few days. Hope you guys are all doing well!

    Definitely a good quote. It’s about what you know and how you feel about you. Growing up I had to have a tough skin, but so mentally prep myself to know what everyone is saying I can and can’t do is untrue, I just needed time and experience to prove it and act accordingly.

      So true. I think a lot of us had that experience. Not everyone can see our vision especially when we’re more ambitious than they are but that shouldn’t stop us.

    Yes, that’s why we are now in this situation here in the US. Many didn’t vote because they thought there was no power in their vote.

    The power we have is a blessing and a curse. Sometimes you say something casually and they take your words as a prophetic gift to them
    What the hell? Really people, it was not the intention, no, not today. Maybe tomorrow…

    These days I’m reading “Darling Days”, a memoir by io tillett wright, what an eye opening book. Hard to digest still worth your time. Such a heart breaking story, triggers so many memories…

    This week? I’m listening to a wide variety of stuff, mostly music played online by freeform DJs. It’s a busy week with taxes and volunteer work to do. Last week was good, though it was cold… finally seems like spring is coming. Be well!

        I saw it way too young, but it is worth every second! If you feel it would have too hard an impact on you, then definitely wait on it. I still get chills … I remember a movie called The Perfect Storm (not nearly as “painful” as The Color Purple) and I didn’t want to see it because I knew it was a true story and that it would devastate me. Overrode my instincts and it was miserable and depressed me for months (lol).

        Cursed so loud when I smashed my nubs … back to the never-ending hunt! Hope you have a happy day ~ You deserve some fun!!! 😀

          I read it way too young as well and it really hit harder because of that which is why I’m hesitant to watch the movie. Maybe when I’m feeling stronger I’ll watch it.

          I can imagine, it’s so painful when we hurt our fingers or toes! Thank you and you as well!!

    I’m so glad to hear you’re feeling better. Flu is no fun. The Alice Walker quotation is well-chosen, even if was randomly found. In the world, we are bamboozled all the time regarding having power. From relatively idle ploys regarding “must-see” shows or “must-have” items to more aggressive tacks toward how to vote or what to think about regarding what’s important and what not to think about at all. We do have power, and we give it up way too easily.
