The Truth Is...

*I can't stand collard greens, hot sauce and gumbo*

*When I fall, I fall HARD*

*I can't stand people I associate myself with*

*I don't feel I'm "black enough" sometimes*

*I think I was born in the wrong year.*

*I'm really questioning myself right now*

Wow. This feels really good!

I always feel black enough. I get sick of people trying to make me feel otherwise. My being light-skinned, speaking standard English, and wearing clothes that actually fit do not make me any more white than standing in my garage makes me my Honda.

The truth is I like you. We are ---->here<-----

Wow thanks! --->here<--- (That's cute, I'm gonna have to steal that!)

"...do not make me any more white than standing in my garage makes me my Honda."

That is hilarious. But that's it exactly. My clothes, my vocabulary, the music I listen too, and the school I go to make me "white". Which in truth is ridiculous cause I love my ebonics, my Chris Brown, The Pack, Hip-hop/R&B, my favorite NPHC fraternity & sorority, and all of those things. I just balance it with a little Blink 182, History Channel, Vanessa Carlton, Laguna Beach, etc.

The truth IS:

• I'd probably be better off financially if I chose NOT to get MARRIED and I truly love and am utterly devoted to my husband. But he gets on the LAST nerve. The last one.
  
• I probably be an Associate Professor if I moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. But, I'd probably take a knife to my throat still thinking "Californian" as I do.
  
• Everything is probably just fine in my life, but my worry genes are mutated.
