Unknown Story

sexism
Growing up in DC you see a lot of things at a young age
It's a lot to witness, almost traumatic
EQUALITY, FREEDOM, HAPPINESS
Homophobia
Racism
you live in the capital of the U.S where most people come to fight for their wants and needs
Some are peaceful. While others aren't...
But my parents always taught me how to be accepting of all people
So that was always the mindset I kept growing up
the sheltered lifestyle that I was so used to was being ripped from underneath me
As I started going to school and doing things on my own,
OMG did you hear about...
But I continued to ignore it and kept pushing forward
My mommy says being gay is a sin...
I wonder what's for dinner?
f@#k you!
*whistles*They don't make them how they used to
Getting catcalled and over-sexualized, being in the middle of a new protest, and other things related
Every corner I turned there seemed to be a new problem.
As the years went by it became harder to ignore the issues around me.
Hey there beautiful!
I was torn between my identities which to support and which to keep secret
This began a series of questioning. Questioning society as well as myself.
The ideals and stereotypes crowded my mind as the weight of my problems crushed me
