There is always room for the ones you love..........
even if the house is crowded !!!!

Thanks Mom. I know you're trying to show me you care.

But I can't relate to movies like this. The people in this trailer may look like me, and may have a similar idea I had, but what you don't know is that 1) I never felt like I could identify with the popular "black experience" and 2) feeling alienated from black people and people in general and twists the nail in even deeper that I'm different when I see movies or trailers like the one in the link below.

Please don't send me anything else like this. I really don't want to be reminded of my suicidal thoughts or feelings of alienation.

Love,
Liz
