i lost a whole continent.
a whole continent from my memory.
unlike all other hyphenated americans 
my hyphen is made of blood.
when africa says hello
my mouth is a heartbreak
because i have nothing in my tongue
to answer her.
i don’t know how to say hello to my mother.

Day 1: “What you need to know about your repayment.”

Day 2: Sallie Mae Statement Available 

Day 3: Congratulations your loan is paid in full. 

I thought someone was playing a joke on me but yea, one of my student loans was paid off. 

Someone loves me, I just don’t know who. 

Look up the meaning of a name before you assign to your kid. Break that fucking name down before you going naming your kid some shit that means mountain goat and you over here wondering why you have a stubborn asshole for kid. 

Ugh. How would you feel if your name meant weasel or wretched one? 

Smh. 

Or just make up your own name. Anything is better than being named, he who dies a slow death. 

I’ll never understand how people rush into marriages/relationships when they have children, like damn, can you give your significant other time to fall in love with your kids, can you give their damn family some time to develop a fucking relationship with your child before you put this makeshift ass family together and then ya’ll have the nerve to get pregnant and fast forward, this baby isn’t even a year old and ya’ll mufuckas are having another baby. smh. And you’re surprised when your oldest daughter is acting out and wants attention. smh. People just fuck kids up for the hell of it. 

Man, I feel like a weight has just been lifted. I can breathe. WOOOO SAHHHHHH Ya’ll!

Pet Peeve:

When people dismiss great-grandparents. 

I mean, I’m sorry you didn’t get to spend any time with yours but I grew up with three of my great-grandmothers and one is still blessed enough to still be living, so no I wont be blasé blasé about my damn granny just because she’s a foreign fucking concept to you.

That fucking SUCKS about his name! Like, what the fuck is the point of those little cards if they’re gonna be idiots about them? But ahh, cool, congrats to him and I’m glad you had a nice time :]

Lmao. I haven’t stopped complaining about it. And he did really well, broke it down to 8 syllables for her and it just sounded like some damn gobbledigook. I did have fun though, took a lot of pics. Did Kimber graduate?! I can’t wait to come back out there and see you guys. 

My big brother graduated today!!! We were all so geeked and ready to act a damn fool at his graduation and then this fucking lady B U T C H E R E D, fucking SLAUGHTERED my brother’s name to the point where we didn’t even know he was called we just saw him walk across the stage. And yea, his first and middle names are Hebrew but they made him fill out a pronunciation card and then asked him how to pronounce his name and still managed to call him ERMYMA RAEL UNTER, like we were so pissed. Several families were pissed because sorry his name is fucking John Tyler Smith or some shit. Ugh. Anywho… we had fun after we acted a damn fool  about that bull and took a gang of pics and I love my neighborhood because everyone was coming and congratulating him and bringing tamales, beer, bowing to my Ma and kissing her hand like, it’s fucking party this man graduated with a Construction Management/Mechanical Engineering Degree. 

Sigh.

I’m really happy for him, he worked extremely hard for it, after having to wait one extra year for one class, smh. I’m just happy he stuck it out. Threw his Black Power Fist up as he glided across the stage.
