Thoughts

This astounding woman delivered a speech at my Colin Powell ceremony which truly hit home for me.

She encouraged us to shift the frame and try to change people’s perspectives. Instead of viewing Bushwick as the ghetto, she emphasized the work ethic, family orientation, not judging, giving 2nd and 3rd chances-no punishments, growth, strength, discipline, loyalty. all positive things about her community. she spoke about how difficult it was to be a 1st generation student applying to college in the US, same as me. Money has always been tight. Muslims and Palestinians are always viewed in a negative and extreme way. 

i do feel incredibly isolated at times, and at the same time surrounded by cushions- my family and friends. And ignorance is not bliss.

Now that my 88 page paper is done, I feel that its only fair to warn everyone that I know that I will never tolerate listening to complaints about writing a paper ever again. Thanks and have a good evening ladies and gents. 

that humans are never satisfied. In high school I wanted clear skin, to be thinner and to have straight hair. Now all I want is to be a size 8, to have straight hair and to have darker skin lol.

I feel like I’ve aged so much in the past 2-3 years, and that my sense of humor and youth died and like I don’t even care for anything. Then I tear up at cute little things, feel so thankful and at peace, and I am reminded of my immense capacity to love. I don’t think my soul has died just yet, but I def need to find someone who can accept me in this serious state.
