Those words ring true but my mind is still shackled. As much as I would love to be this free to express my hedonism, all I can hear are years of elders warning me against heathenism. Lovely picture by the way. Be free king. 💓

‘Eat colonizer food, think act & behave as a colonizer’ returning to our natural indigenous ways is the way

Been here thinking about pleasure, and
joy, and
nature, and
where they intersect with decolonization
For so long our hedonism has been deemed heathonism
so in the absence of a colonizer,
we self-police our bodies to assimilate to a colonial ideal of acceptability
the colonial gaze lingers
in how we interpret ourselves in the privacy of our Home
and the spectating specter of post-colonial neoimperialism perpetuates itself, like passive income, but now with our skinfolk serving as its guards and guardians
Some days I feel perhaps the work of decolonization is too long for this lifetime, too heavy to fit it in between bouts & bursts of joy
So I’ma just focus on decolonizing my mind by decolonizing my body.
