Being fathers is getting our daughters up at 5:30 am making breakfast getting them dressed for school and putting them on the bus by 6:30 .This is a typical day in our household . It’s not easy but we enjoy every moment and eveny minute of #fatherhood . #proudfathers #blackfathers #prouddads #gaydads

#people#this dispels like fifty stereotypes and I love it

Okay I’m reblogging this again because I want to point out how beautiful this is and the sheer number of stereotypes it disproves. The stereotype that a gay couple cant be good parents. The stereotype that men know nothing about caring for girls’ hair. The stereotype that all gay men are feminine. The stereotype that black men abandon their children. The stereotype that people with a lot of tattoos aren’t caring. The stereotype that black people are too lazy to care about things like school- This picture is a beautiful thing and I love everything about it and it makes me regain confidence in the world we live in

i’m a strong believer that not everything you do needs an explanation. if you want a tattoo, get one. if you rather stay home that night, it’s okay to miss that party. don’t forget that you’re living for yourself. you don’t owe anyone an explanation for your choices or preferences.

things life is too short for:
– hating yourself
– pretending to laugh at “jokes” that are actually just bigoted statements
– not singing along to your favorite songs
– waiting hours to text someone back just to look cool
– bad coffee
– bad books
– mean people
– body shaming
– letting other people dictate your life
– larry’s storyline

a few quick reminders:

– that thing you did that was kind of embarrassing and weird, everyone else forgot about that already

– you look fine today, if you can’t notice something on your face standing 6 feet from a mirror then nobody else will either

– if something is out of your control, do not let yourself or anyone else expect you to deal with it alone

– social lives can go through cycles sometimes, if you feel like your friends are all ignoring you for no reason they’re probably just busy with other things

– if you can’t stop thinking about someone or something, find something mentally occupying to do like reading a book or watching a movie. it won’t solve any serious problems but you will feel better

– nothing will always be easy, if you’re trying then that should be good enough for anyone. if it’s not then you’re talking with the wrong people

– never underestimate the importance of going to bed, if it’s dark outside and you feel bad just go to bed and deal with your problems the next day

Just A Reminder…

You don’t have to be polite to people who have harassed you.

You don’t have to give in to visiting places with family or being around certain relatives that bring about traumatic childhood memories just to make your family happy.

You don’t have to be kind to people who know your triggers but blatantly joke about things that traumatize you and you have a right to feel angry and express that when they do.

You, alone, hold the choice in deciding if and when (ever) you want to engage and interact with people who used to mean so much to you. Don’t be pressured by those said individuals, our your friends, our your parents or whoever.

Sometimes, you have to let go of people from your past even if they used to mean the world to you so you have can peace of mind and the ability to move forward. Toxic people will always be around to latch on to you and to suck away your energy, your time and most importantly: YOU.

There will be people who have broken your heart, taken a dump on your feelings, muddy up great memories, made you feel anything else than great about yourself…If you don’t want them in your life anymore don’t allow them to be.

It was Audre Lorde who said:

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

Self care is revolutionary because when you take part in it, you are putting yourself on the top shelf. You are important to YOU and you are taking the necessary steps to make sure that you are mostly well oiled machine and that you can function.
