Minority Memoirs - A New Perspective (COMPLETE) by ArianneBarroma

"You must understand. Try to Understand. You must understand, that the world is different from where we stand. From where I stand. Please. Just Listen." Within a world of progress, technology and inclusion there is still so much more work to do. No one listens - No one seems to care. Through the eyes of Ren, you dear reader have a new perspective. You now walk in the shoes of our heroine as she takes you on a journey of her life. A life she shares with many, yet a life that few acknowledge. Do you have what it takes to understand where she comes from, where they come from? Do you have the heart to experience her heart break, her struggle and her fight? Follow Ren as she ushers you towards the daily story of a minority millennial - to find love, to fight injustice, and to find equality.

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏
