Dear Me

Dear Me,

Continue to be you. Be sensitive.  Cry.  Ask questions. Giggle loudly. There are days you tell yourself you must change. That you need to be different.  But as hard as you try,  you can't. You can't change your infectious laugh that causes people to say something. You can't change that you "talk white". This advise is being given on a day where you are questioning yourself. Why and what.  It's always why and what. But this time the why and what is different because it's made you cry. And you thought you were strong enough not to cry. That's really the problem,  you always think you're strong enough. You keep asking yourself what you did and why this keeps happening. As if somehow if you were different,  prettier, lighter, or more black the results would be different. But sadly,  they never are.  There are just a few things in life my heart desires. Not too much,  just a few.
