Dominique Fishback Instagram – I think for a while I forgot how to smile. Repression is such a dimmer of the divine light we all have inside of us and it is so stealthy. I somehow let experiences and pain put a filter on me, of which I could not see. That’s ok. We live to learn 🫶🏽 One day in June last summer, I randomly walked into a wholistic shop in Brooklyn. I said something to my friend and it was in there that the owner, a black woman, told me that “I had resisted too long.” I wanted to catch an attitude cause nobody asked her 😂 but I couldn’t because I knew she was right and I did in fact walk in that shop hopeful for insight. 🧘🏾‍♀️ She said we have “3 choices in life.. Ignore. Resist or follow… “ could it be that all these years I confused resisting and following … I thought that by verbalizing I didn’t agree with something that was resistance but in fact was I still just following? Now I know, it was that I was resisting the wrong thing. I was resisting my own heart. Why do we do such hurtful things like that? This January I declared that I just wanted to wake up everyday and be happy not because of what’s happening in my career or my love life but just of my own volition. So happy to see I’m smiling again and this time it’s a smile of my own making and still I appreciate you guys for holding space for it. 🥹☺️🌀🪷🦋✨
