To Choose To Write Is To Reject

I Think My First General Rule Is That Most Of My Experiences Are Not That Interesting. It's Usually Other People's Experiences. It's Not That Entirely Conscious. Somebody Tells Me A Story Or, You Know, Repeats An Anecdote That Somebody Else Told Them And I Just Feel Like I Have To Write It Down So I Don't Forget - That Means For Me, Something Made It Fiction-worthy. Interesting Things Never Happen To Me, So Maybe Two Or Three Times When They Do, I Have To Use Them, So I Write Them Down.

Because I Am Female, I’m Expected To Aspire To Marriage. I Am Expected To Make My Life Choices Always Keeping In Mind That Marriage Is The Most Important.

The Problem With Gender Is That It Prescribes How We Should Be, Rather Than Recognising How We Are.

Why Must We Always Talk About Race Anyway? Can't We Just Be Human Beings? And Professor Hunk Replied - That Is Exactly What White Privilege Is, That You Can Say That. Race Doesn't Really Exist For You Because It Has Never Been A Barrier. Black Folks Don't Have That Choice.

Honesty. And I Just Really Think There's A Fundamental Friendship That Needs To Exist, Whether It's A Lover, Whether It's A Sister...there's Just This Connection Both People Need To Be Effortlessly Themselves.
