Life becomes incredibly interesting after graduating from college. You and I are the exact same people we were yesterday. We are having different experiences and maybe living in different locations, but we fight the same desires and want the same things. I realized this while listening to a podcast one morning. A woman said, “When I walk out of this room, I’ll still be black. I’ll be black tomorrow and I was black yesterday. You can’t shed who you are.” This was interesting to me because, of course, I completely related to her. Yet for some reason, I thought when I moved to a different city being black would mean something different. I thought I would be something different. Thankfully, that was not the case.
