Happy Fourth Of July!

Today is independence day in America and a public holiday for most workers. Atala is home, and we're going to be relaxing most of the day. Maami has been paid for on Dobox, the popcorn will soon go in the oven, and then it will be movie time. If we feel up to it, we may stroll out for some fireworks at our local park. Fun stuff. I hope everyone enjoys their day, whether in America or elsewhere. Happy July 4th!

My Mother Was OK With Me Bleaching My Skin

By Anonymous

My mum has repeatedly told me that I'm "too dark". One day I even told her that I plan on bleaching my skin (of course I had no plans to, I just wanted to see her reaction) and I wasn't surprised that she was OK with it. When family members that haven't seen me since I was a baby (I was much lighter as a child) ask about me, she'd tell them how I took after my dad's side of the family in terms of complexion.
