I probably share more than most on this blog thingy, but hey, I'm a singer, performer...therefore somewhat of an exhibitionist, right? And...this is really random, but I'm watching black girls rock, and Jill Scott is truly my performance idol. Seriously. Anyway, back to me, lol...sometimes it takes a minor incident to trigger the awareness that you're dealing with some major issues!
I'm just talking to those that come from a similar background or situation of course...
Being from a small city, and having big ideas has never been an easy thing...dealing with the small mindedness of those that live here, or think they know me, or they have some grand idea as to who or what I should be, do, how I should act...as if they know me better right? I'm a christian, yes...but I'm not a carbon copy of the rest of them...sometimes I wonder about that. I have much different thoughts and ideas. They nag, they poke, and they prod. To step outside of what you're taught so that you can actually LEARN is so much harder than most would think...but people have these impossible, unspoken expectations of you! Most of which are astounding, as I'm unsure when those began to matter...I think that most of all I want to take time to just walk in whatever direction I feel, without offending. Now we all know that just is NOT going to happen. But I want to be brave enough to pursue anyway.
Shouts to those who have endured suffocating expectations.
