a story from a local African
getting looks isn't something new growing up it happens. we all are different so to see a different community around its pretty unusual I know but the most beautiful part is when everyone gets along. Hispanic they come in all different shades it's amazing I'm always getting fooled thinking it's another African American till they start speaking. some would be ass dark as me or darker and I'll still get fooled being African around here is pretty dope living wit the people that helped my people back in the good old days. I live in a small town called holyoke it wonderful but in reality its a miserable boring city. I love it but my thoughts never agreed with my reality I always thought I don't belong here but it's looked like home too me mother wold always go gardening. the garden would be next to the apartment and ill watch her time by time cause I was always in fear for Mt mother she so brave and careless momma still do her thing to her I don't know how holyoke is to her but I'd say she don't like it as mush as I did. momma don't like holyoke because the environment we live around so I'm questioning what it we lived a different part of the city. damn momma would've been happy but things happen and if she wants a better life I'll give it to her.
