🚨 Spoiler Alert 🚨... sorta
I was on the edge of my seat for the better part of this movie. Blood pressure raised, anxiety level at 100. This is not your feel-good-family movie.
To all my Empaths:
This movie took me out emotionally damn near for the rest of the day...
Which is both a gift and a curse.
A curse I feel, because even though I prayed, meditated, grounded myself—and the movie space, I still wasn’t emotionally prepared for the effects this movie would later have on me.
I just can’t handle s**t like that this these days…or anymore for that matter. It’s not me burying my head in the sand, but more about getting to know and discovering me...and what my psyche can and cannot withstand… And being OK with that.
High Vibes Only.
I don’t need to immerse myself in sadness and anger of injustice to know it exists. Neutrality, ease...and a whole host of other tips, tricks and tools to raise awareness — mine and the collective.
It’s about us choosing us… Even in our artistry. No shade (but shade) to sister , but if WE can’t even paint our ourselves into a happy ending —where is the hope? I am reminded daily, hourly that in the eyes of many — my existence don’t mean s**t. I don’t need to pay $18.50 of my hard-earned USD to remind me of such— especially from women who look just like me.
Shadowandact ‘s Let's Talk About The Ending Of 'Queen & Slim': An Artful Wound With No Medicine [REVIEW] is probably the best depiction of what so many felt walking away from this film.
In the end, this movie was really a gift. November 27th marked the end of Neptune Retrograde. The promise of today bringing more emotional balance, alignment with spiritual path and destiny. It’s probably no accident that it is raining here in LA.
I saw a lot of myself in Angela. Letting her guard down and allowing herself to be loved… healing old wounds — even though she knew her fate.
I did appreciate the film’s artistry, lessons in life, love and stroll down a melodic memory lane. But much like the movie Crash, I won’t ever see it again.
Empaths: Prepare for a ride that may take some time from which to come down. And go easy on yourself if you do. 🖤✊🏾😌
