I would just like to put on record that in the past 48 hours, Harry has celebrated two of the most talented Black Artists on the planet. And heart is so happy right now.

But seriously. As a black person who has never seen some of my favorite artists surrounded by, and praising and performing with, black artists. I’m actually really emotional right now.

Lizzo, a fat black woman singing about loving yourself and knowing you’re the best no matter your size. And Stormzy, one of the most influential rappers of our time, consisistenly speaking truth to power. Are being celebrated by my favorite artist. Actually has me moved to tears. I genuinely never noticed how much I was craving this.

Seriously. Never minimize how much representation matters to people of color. It’s one thing to have a Black Lives Matter sticker on his guitar. But to see Harry literally PRAISE and share the stage with black artists is honestly so fucking important to me.

yo does anyone else feel CONSTANTLY guilty? like you’ve always done something wrong but you don’t know what it is?

Yes, and I’ve spoken to my therapist about it, who offered an explanation:

She says that people who from a young age were made to feel like they kept doing things wrong - people who’s parents had impossibly high standards for them, people who were bullied, people who have special needs, people who didn’t develop crushes on the “right” people, people who didn’t act like the “right” gender - basically ended up being made to feel guilty so much that guilt became their default response to everything. Guilt became the emotional response to anything which the person didn’t already have a set emotion for.

People for whom guilt is the default emotional response are also more likely to have low self-esteem, doubt their own experiences, and experience impostor syndrome. So, watch out for that too guys
