Covet

I have been black my whole life.  My whole life, I have been around black women obsessed with hair.  I can remember when I embraced my hair.  My hair is thin, it does not like to be bothered and it does not mind letting me know that.  All that being said, It is my hair.  I have no desire to have anyone else’s hair.  I love my hair.  Some women are mean and cantankerous to women who have naturally long hair.  For that matter, they are evil to women they perceive as light-skinned.  Some will run down a woman who is fifty or a hundred pounds lighter than they.  That is covetous.  The base of that type of self hate is covetous.  You are looking at what someone else has and elevating it above what God gave you.  Love yourself.  Why hate something that God said was fearfully and wonderfully made.  Why covet something that you don’t have?  Spend that time loving on yourself.

I love my hair
