Happy Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day has become a popular holiday in Ghana in just the past few years.
For me it was a rather off day. Maybe it was because I was craving cookies all day, as if my body has a memory that it usually gets sweets on this day. Starting to feel entitled, I suppose.
I haven't had a real cookie for six months... maybe the longest time I've gone without since infancy.
Maybe I was just a little sad because I'm so far away from all the people I love. It's been a lonely day.
Ever since I've started classes, I've been getting these flashbacks from Jr. High... I hated Jr. High. I go to class and feel like the awkward unfashionable kid with who talks funny and doens't understand anyone's jokes. And no matter what I do, I'll never quite fit in. I feel insecure and don't have many friends. Some people talk to me, but oftentimes I get the impression that they're just being nice. I was once one of those kids who just tried to talk to the foreign kids, or the unpopular ones, just to be nice.
shucks.
