Never having kissed someone is okay. Never having dated someone is okay. Never having been sexually active is okay. It’s normal to be in your 20’s to not have been in relationships. You shouldn’t feel uncomfortable about it because it is your life and no one has the right to judge you for what you want to and don’t want to do with it.
People don’t take black women with depression or a mental illness seriously. We’re just written off as another angry black woman. Which is why I’m hardly ever honest about my struggle with my own depression. No one believes me. Or even if they believe me, the assumption is that as a black girl, I’m used to living a hard life. So I should be able to handle anything after a couple of nice words & a pat on the back. The truth is though I hurt too much, too fast, too easily. I’ve attempted to take my life twice and I struggle with getting out of bed every morning. I smile and sometimes I’m really really happy. But sometimes I break and everything feels like disaster.
