challenges and inspiration

[winsey]

A month after I graduated from college, my friend and I decided to take a road trip from NYC to the south, inspired by our studies of the civil rights movement. One of the places we decided was vital to go to was St. Helena Island, South Carolina as it was the location of the first freedom school and has nurtured the totally distinct Gullah culture

Thanks juice. I forgot about her four adopted kids working at the restaurant.

I'm not sure you understand what a socially awkward nerd I am in real life. While I'd love for Hurriyah to know about her influence on me, the thought of just calling her up and telling her after these six years is paralyzingly terrifying.

I can't help it, I get it from my dad. One social cripple begat another.

i never think of you as socially awkward, but rather incredibly engaged.

if you don't feel too shy, maybe a way around confessing your true love would be to email the gullah welcome center and see if they have an address for her.

I like to think of myself as being in the business of making tedious work more tolerable.
