The Real Me
Jan 23, 2022
Story
The real me is a collection of personalities, emotions, ideologies, interests, and beliefs, encased in an African dark skin, wide eyes, and a head full of imaginations and an afro.
Most times, I'm a ball of complex energy who loves to sit still, observe and imprint my own values.
I am a speck amongst the gazillion stars, radiating a tiny spark, lighting up controversial conversations that everyone faces but no one is brave enough to talk about.
Most importantly, I'm a young woman with magic powers. With my strides and my gaze, I commune with queens and kings. A select creature with the ability to birth a nation, minions in my image, trained to save the world. I'm perceived as different and weird, it takes a while to understand who I am. Unique in my thinking (I believe we all are), I'm another opportunity to alter the present negativity and create a world fit for the future.
(I see my brother rolling his eyes at this. He says I'm simply stubborn.)
