If you've ever seen yourself in a photograph, you might not see yourself as the prettiest person on the outside. Not matter how pretty, everyone's felt that way at some point and it's hard to deny. But one thing that isn't hard to deny is that you know you're a great person, and you may feel like not a lot of people see you that way. I've ran into some interesting people in my life that have, in my opinion, left lasting impressions. Some people people bring out the bad in me, but other may bring out the good. Many people make me feel insecure, and many make me feel confident. Many people make me feel guilty, and other make me feel innocent.

Why Are You Obsessed with My Race?
I wonder why people feel like they have the right to ask me about my personal life. I don't know how many times a day I am asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? What are you mixed with?" My replies to those people are, "Why do you care where I'm from? It is your business to know what I am mixed with? How dare you overstep your boundaries and violate my space? Society judges my skin color, my hair, and my exotic features. It does not accept me for being who I am. I often hear, "You are too light to be black" or "You are too dark to be white." They size me up with their eyes of hate as if I asked for their opinion. I don't owe you an explanation. I am not on trial because of my background. I didn't choose my race. I did not ask to be here -- but I am here. I am not ashamed of who I am. You asked me, "Who am I?" The real question is, why are you obsessed with my race? Why is it any of your concern? I am Stella. I am 16 years old, and I am proud of who I am! I am biracial, and I am a human being just like you.Complete

Society, Me and Life: The Truth
You have a right to feel the way you do. You have a right to keep things private or to share and speak about these experiences to others. No matter what you choose, it is your decision to make. However, do not let your fear dismiss the truth. Do not believe the lies you constantly tell yourself to ignore the pain you are feeling. Do not let the sum of someone else's trauma silence you.
My Dear Brothers|✓|
"You know, I always thought that this situation would play out differently." I said and their heads snapped up. Their jaws dropped and I gave them a small smile. "Am I hallucinating?" Roman murmured as he stared at me. "If you are hallucinating Isabella, then we have reached new levels of twin telepathy I did not know could be reached." Alex replied. I let out a small chuckle and unlocked the cuffs attached to their hands and they looked at me in disbelief. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Isabella has never fit in with others. She was never the most beautiful girl nor was she the most studious. She was, in a word, boring. Her life seemed plain and she made sure no one knew what was actually going on at home. She made sure that her life at home was hidden no matter how much it broke her. What happens when her family is gone and she comes to know that she is not really who she thinks she is? What happens when she goes to live with her brothers who she did not even know existed? (I'm sorry, I'm horrible at descriptions. Please give this story a chance. There might be mild cursing) #1 in lifechanging on September 21, 2020 #82 in school on October 23, 2020Complete
