Juneteenth: 152 Years Ago...

The slaves in America was freed.

That’s 1865. 

Civil Rights started 89 years later. That’s 1954.

In theory, it’s possible that your great-grandmother was alive when slavery ended.

So in order for you to say “slavery ended 400 years ago”… wait until 2265… if you’re alive at the time.

Coming soon

My Dream House hasn’t been much of a dream I haven’t had the chance to settle

My room flooded So I’m sleeping in the spare The chill room The room of requirement

At this point it’s my temporary bedroom I’ve been hesitant to settle into the chill room I felt like that was accepting my situation And I refused to accept it Today I yelled at my landlord for doing exactly as I asked I heard the first sign of problem and leapt It was not good So this is wild

I saw a counselor after Well scheduled an appointment For an interview Then we can set a session But I went I know it’s gonna be hard But I wanna be honest with myself I wanna talk to someone who’s paid to listen Someone who won’t judge But just wants to help

The floors in my room are gone I layed down a green rugged blanket in the chill room It makes it look like I have a grass carpet

I brought my tv in To drown out the ticking clock I turned on sims But I’m so uncomfortable sleeping on air But I covered it in 3 blankets I’m comfortable Mostly I’m trying to be

This is beautiful
