We be cool.--Gwendolyn Brooks
Black folks created "cool." Cool is a suit of armor that no one can penetrate. Cool goes off on folks like a firecracker and brags about it afterward. When cool's shield is up, no one can get close. Cool masks the fear of rejection and the pain of love gone wrong. Some of the coolest, toughest women are overweight; they use their weight as a shield. Cool is a front for insecurity. At some point, cool sister, you must relinquish your chill for real feelings.
Self-love cancels out all fear. Today I will allow my inner warmth to shine through.
