If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Are Our Relationships Strongholds Or Chokeholds?
Unity Consciousness #403

.

It doesn't take long for many of us to realize that not all relationships are supposed to remain for a lifetime or remain unchanged. This is normal and healthy. Relationships are supposed to change.

The main reason relationships change is because both people are supposed to grow. Even when one or the other or both don't grow, their different experiences before and after they formed the relationship means that their relationship at any given point in time, will never be exactly the same.

Relationships change because everything else in the universe is always changing.

Holding on to relationships hoping they will last forever and never change is not good. False notions alter our behavior.

We must study and grow and allow our relationships the space to take their own shape, in their own time. When we do, we and our relationships become stronger. When we do not, relationships become something they are not supposed to be because we are not being who we need to be.

We must give our relationships room to breathe so our relationships can assist us in becoming our greatness.

Relationships can either be a stronghold or chokehold.
