Its only Tuesday and I feel burnt out. As in, there's no more fuel in me. Had a lot of thinking to do over the past week concerning school and everything else in my life so both mentally and physically, I am exhausted. As much as summer was suppose to be a break from everything that stresses me out during the school year, it wasn't. In all honestly the lines between school stress and life stress have become blurred and have crossed over and have multiplied. Basically, all have just become stress. No particular title or specific group. Just stress.
On a brighter note, I went on a shopping binge, had my account overdrawn is how serious it got. Sigh.
I just saw this and it made me smile a little. It just goes to show that people can be different and still be united.

black/more black. Nor am I doubtful of my heritage. I am someone who

and skin to wear what I want. Pride is not worn on my scalp, its shown
through endeavors."
People need to just stop with the whole you are more/less proud of your native land by the way you carry you hair. Yes, hair is important but to each man/woman his own. What would you now say to the half cast with a African mother and Russian father who has blond kinks. Abeg free ppl and their hair. Jor ooooooo.
