When there is 43% Black teenage unemployment,...

Things that are changing: My hair, my viewpoints, my reactions to the outside world, my perception of myself.

Things that are not: My ethnicity, my love for my people, my tolerance for ignorance, especially in that regard.

Things that I am: Brown. Musical. Peaceful, Vulnerable. Quiet. Open-minded. Young at heart. Sometimes hypomanic.

Things I am not: Willing to suffer fools

I am still learning. I still fuck up sometimes. Please correct me when I do.
