A Letter To My Momma

Growing up I thought momma was always tough on us cause she hated us and doesn’t give a fucking damn about our feelings and all that cause she said to us some of the most ruthless things I don’t think children are supposed to hear.

After watching the Penuel interview, I’ve come to a realisation that’s not the case at all… The matter of the fact is that even if I don’t portray it much, I’m soft and weak because of all the emotions I have towards my momma for treating me the way she did growing up. I’ve always been examining the matter from the perspective that I’m a victim of emotional and mental abuse, but today I’ve realised that is not the case. All momma is doing is showing me that the world is ruthless and will drag you the first opportunity availed, that there’s no exception for the good/weak and soft-hearted. Even we get fucked…I’ve now realised that what momma has been trying to say this entire time is that while I should remain a good person, I still have to be the bad guy where need be for the sake of protecting myself and all that I love.

“Be a good person Eugene, but also be the bad guy where need be for the sake of our sanity.”

“I apologise in advance for being the person you think I’m not but I really am”

Thank U Momma🖤
