idk how long it’s been since i been on tumblr but hi :)
”I will braid my sadness… My grandmother said that when a woman is sad, the best thing she could do was to braid her hair; thus this way the pain will be trapped in the hair and it could not reach the rest of the body. You have to be careful that the sadness do not get into the eyes, because it would move the eyes to tears, like rain. Also it was not good to let her into our lips because it will force them to say things that are not true and either in your hands because it could make you forget about the sugar in your coffee; and that sadness is like the bitter taste. When you feel sad, girl, braid your hair; traps pain in the skein and let it escape when the north wind go away tightly.”
