Are you radically different than your younger self? Are there key elements that have stayed the same? Most parts? Do you feel as if you’ve followed the “roadmap of life” or forged your own path? Have there been “chapters” or do things all sort of slide into one contiguous flow? Share what you’d like!
People of color. I saw you on there I think you said you were native but I was like HEY - HOMIE G! Hahahaha! But seriously, what they did in those camps is fucking awful and I’ve met a handful (and by a handful I mean a handful cause it’s not like there’s a “thriving native population”) of people who are descendants of those boarding schools and they’re fucked up to this day. It’s crazy how being removed from your home and culture - then being left to “fend for yourself” after being “normalized” can lead to oodles of inter-generational trauma.
I was just saying hey cause I’m mixed on both sides but my ma’s side is part-Hawaiian and they tried to crush us too. (Among others, also Japanese American and we know what happened there.)
