where i'm from


I am from the indoors, from technology and air conditioning. I am from a small town, destined for a city. I am from a large family, from traditional meetings and meals, from A Christmas Story all Christmas Day, from Nana and PawPaw and many cousins. I am from the upper middle class and carelessly and accidentally wasting money. From respect your elders to now you are a woman of your own. I am from the relaxed religion of church on special occasions and prayers on your own. I am from the long-stayed south, deviled eggs and giblet gravy. From the constant trouble making with cousin Jordan, hiding spilt finger nail polish and shushing privates talks when parents come near. I am from PandoraSBox BlogSpot with my life laid out in a chaotic and humorous manner, revealing the best and worst of times.
