Now the only thing I listen to is the stuff that comes on 80’s on 8 on Sirius radio. I still dress the same though. Hoodies, T shirts, jeans and Vans. My hair is super short now instead of super long.
I’m accepted way more now than I was when I was a kid. Those people that say it does get better are right.

You know what? Now that I think of it things did get better. My peers and I were made fun of by our families so hardcore because we were black kids into punk, rock, and alternative music. We wore alternative clothes, loved our chucks and vans, and hung out with the skateboarders lol. Our high school was a refuge because it was an arts school where everyone was "weird."
Nowadays it's no big thing for black kids to wear vans (there's even a song about it) and to be really into Jimi Hendrix (another phase I went through
). I'm happy that things have changed for the better.
