Another Excellent Article From Crunk: On Disappearing.

People already think I am inferior to them because I am a large, black, natural haired woman, but this article really made me think of how I hide my selves from other people because they will think I am unintelligent or crazy.

I don’t think you are inferior. I do relate to hiding, though. I read the post at the link. I think all of us hide some aspect of ourselves…and maybe that is really simply the safest and best thing to do. There are a lot of people out there who are not trustworthy enough to fully share ourselves.

It’s so hard tor people to be able to say what they really think and be rejected or criticized. It’s easier to shape one’s self into what the other person desires. I’m just tired of being on both sides of it; stereotyping people and being stereotyped.

We all want to be liked and loved. The question is…are we willing to compromise ourselves to get that “liking” and “loving”?
I am proud of you for bravely making wise choices as to how much of yourself you should reveal in a potentially unsafe world.
