I’m so tired of everyone taking themselves so seriously. You are a high school student. Stop trying to appease everyone and living up to their standards of normality. Show some fucking unique personality. Everyone may not like that personality but at least it’s legitimate, and not a facade. Laugh, cry, and scream; show your emotions don’t be ashamed of them. Humans are all different and that’s part of what makes them so special. I’m like always on Tumblr but I never actually post. I pretty much just like shit. I should probably at least reblog some stuff.

“A lot of people just look and see skin color. I’ve actually had people ask me was I Black or was I White first. A White gentleman came up to me and said ‘I thought you might be White, but then I saw your lips.’ One girl said to me ‘I’ve been wanting to ask you this question, but I didn’t feel comfortable asking you because I thought that you might be offended, but are you Black or are you White?’ And I was just like, ‘Well, I’m always Black.’ When we were done with the meat of the conversation, she laughed and said something about my hair and my butt gave it away. People definitely let you know that they view being Black as being very literal – the amount of pigment you have. ‘Your skin is White, therefore you’re White. Or are you?’ I spend a lot of time thinking about what’s going to happen to my life in the future because I know it has to be better than the present. I suppose that’s a sort of optimism in its own way. I (not so) simply need to put more effort into insuring that future will come to be.
