dear younger me,
i'm sorry you had no natural freedom.
being black was frowned upon by someone who was supposed to accept and love you, which caused self imaging issues.
you thought your brown skin and dark chocolate eyes were an ugly blemish accompanied by your cursed frizzy curls.
your hair was "too big".
it was "too messy".
it was always "too much".
it was never appreciated the way it should of been and that's not your fault.
