To my brothers and sisters with different skin colors:
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that when I walk out the door,
I'm not afraid I'll be shot
because of my skin.
I'm sorry that when you comply to their orders,
they say you screamed
and kicked
and fought.
I'm sorry that police cars slow down
when they pass you on the streets.
I'm sorry that I was born with privilege.
I'm sorry that I take it for granted.
I'm sorry that you have to fight so hard.
I'm sorry that you're profiled.
I'm sorry that I'm not.
I'm sorry that a water gun
constitutes as "a weapon" in their eyes
just so they can take you in.
But most of all, I'm sorry
that the amount of melanin you posses
means you get less freedom
in this "land of the free."

On Being 'Okay'
Hello everyone; it's been a while. Quite a bit has happened since I last updated, so I'll try to go through all of the major things...
I got a job (#Adulting) at a massage place. Free massage every month? I'm there.
I moved out of my parents' house (mostly).
Ugh.. it's such a pain to have half of your things in one place and half in another. I really want to move out for real, but tbh I'm worried about how my mom would react. I love her to pieces and even though I'll move out eventually I know it will make her sad.
Rent is expensive AF. Once my lease is up, I will move on to greener pastures and cheaper rent (hopefully).
I was in a car a
Tagged, and Promises of an Update
honestly i still get all flustered whenever Nulli talks to me or tags me or generally acknowledges that I exist and we've been friends for 4 years ahh
13 things about me (are there even 13 things about me? these aren't going to be as good as Nulli's...)
1. I'm allergic to cashews. K story time: When I was a freshman in high school, we went to Corpus Christi for our choir trip. A friend of mine had brought sea salted cashews with him, and I ate that shit like candy. No problems. As time goes on, I eat several cashews, it's all good, but then when I'm given mixed nuts, I get slightly panicky bc I feel like my throat is closing up. I decide I
Looking Ahead, and a Bit Behind...
It's been a while!
I hope you all have been doing well ^^ As for me, I've graduated and look forward to starting University in the fall. When I was younger, about when I started this account, I was sure that I was going to go to college to study creative writing so I could be an author. After all, that's what I'd wanted my whole life. People change, though, even though I thought I'd never change this part of my life, and I've decided that what I really want to do with my life is to be a youth librarian.
I volunteer at my library all the time as a member of the Teen Advisory Group, so since I'm there all the time (and especially helping out
Senioritis, Pranks, and Sad Choral Pieces
It seems like all I do now is update every once in a while. Alas, I haven't really been able to write anything recently, despite senioritis hitting me harder than the flu did a couple weeks ago.
So let's see what's been going on, hmm?
I got accepted into both colleges I applied to (yay!), I turned in my hours for century club, prom is coming up, blah blah blah. It's been determined that I'll cry a lot at commencement, because what usually happens is that the new Varsity Mixed choir (which I am currently in) sings a song. This year, however, they sing their song, then the new members sit down and the seniors who are leaving the choir stand u

racism is pretty stupid. the logic process is prehistoric and moronic: If it's not like "US" it must be "BAD"
People can't really advance until we look at the PERSON not the BODY. how can we have meaningful advancements if the mechanics can's get along? the scientists? the distributing company? there are two outcomes, we actually learn to mix and mingle, or we all fucking die, because tiny pockets of "true ____" around the world at war with each other would probably kill everyone, and even if a group comes out on top, no genetic diversity and they all die in 200 years.
(Angry White Dude out: PEACE!)
