Today I went into Walmart and saw this worker he's really cute and he's white so I start walking down the aisle and turn around bc my hair I didnt have box braids in so I felt ugly. But than I walk by a cute black guy and felt less ugly but still the same feeling, and Idky but being a black teen in America is so hard. Growing up wanting to be white or hating my skin color bc in elementary-middle school (also freshman year) i would be called black or get made fun of bc my color. I would also always want my 4c hair straight so I would get relaxers and even still it was never completely straight I am now 18 and im still struggling with how to love my hair and myself. My hair is biggest insecurity. We need to normalize 4c hair and colored skin we're getting there but there's still a long ways to go.
