I think it’s hard to be where I’m from sometimes. I wouldn’t change it, not for a second. But being a girl from NY who (mostly) grew up in a small town in the mountains of NC, who went away to college in Chapel Hill is an interesting mix of schema!
At times, this works to my advantage, giving me a variety of perspectives on life. But in other ways, I feel like its a constant awareness to try to unlearn some of the lessons I’ve internalized about being a woman.
I love where I’m from…all of where I’m from. And I’m grateful for all of my experiences. It’s when the three create contradictions within myself that things get really interesting.
