Name: K...
Nickname: S...P...
They were okay, I guess. I did like my nickname because it was tied to my ancestry/heritage. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309961539256325">https://twitter.com/melanated...

I’d change favorite colors quickly. Never stuck on one. I loved all of them at different times for different reasons. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309962856198147">https://twitter.com/melanated...
I was usually in knee length dresses with belts. Mostly because my mom picked them out. I however was draw to tiny shorts and tank tops very early. They were super comfortable, and I don’t like too many things on my body. Those are still my go-to comfy clothes. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309963523158017">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Favorite foods were fried plantains and also ramen. And I loved sandwiches. And yoghurts. I hated food in general and they were the some of the few tastes I didn’t feel like retching on. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309964202594305">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Time felt SUPER LONG. I’d sleep and wake up in the middle of the night. And the night and I will sit together till it faded into morning. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309964856909826">https://twitter.com/melanated...
To travel round the world. To explore all my interests. To be famous lol https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309965611929602">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Having my own beautiful apartment/home and my own life. I’d daydream of my own place as often as the other kids were daydreaming about wedding dresses. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309966274621440">https://twitter.com/melanated...
“Soon”; whenever I needed something, my parents said it. I learnt very early that it meant “we can’t provide this for you even though we know you need it but we have nothing but we are hoping to be able to do it one day, but it 99% won’t happen”. Also horror. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309966941483009">https://twitter.com/melanated...
I’d go hide and cry, then try forget about it by hyper playing; or just swallow the tears altogether. As an elder daughter I spent more time consoling, than getting to cry. Being strong for both my parents and my younger siblings. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309967604199424">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Oh I had lots. But I was always drawn to the weirdo character from somewhere else trying to fit in. I related. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309968296239104">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Mixed feelings. I liked it but it was weird. I saw it more as “I have been here for X years” than “I am X years old”. I’d get wishes from family and a card from my grandad with money that would be taken away from me anyway lol. My mom would also throw away gifts from my grandma. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309968954781696">https://twitter.com/melanated...
I don’t think I understood much however I was very aware there was a lot going on. A lot of complicated decisions and my parents would always say “when you’re older we will explain”. It was always shrouded in mystery and secrets and we had to watch our backs. I wanted to know why https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309969596444672">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Running around outside, making up tournaments for my siblings and i to participate in, reenacting fight scenes from shows. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309970372456449">https://twitter.com/melanated...
I loved fast songs. It meant bailar! https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309971026735105">https://twitter.com/melanated...
I loved to sing and dance for myself like a little performer but once someone else showed up I’d stop. I started singing again publicly later at 17, and quit about 8 years after. Singing properly makes me cry and it’s embarrassing https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309971697868806">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Again, many things. But funny enough I am doing the very things I dreamed I specifically did NOT want to do. No I don’t enjoy it at all. I don’t think I can go back to the things I wanted. The opportunities came many times but were blocked. I think the time has passed now. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309972360519681">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Silly jokes and stand up comedy https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309973300043776">https://twitter.com/melanated...
A few were nice to me. Most laughed at me. I’d just smile quietly and cry when I got home. I just wanted them not to treat me as different; I thought I was fine as is but they didn’t hold that opinion. I guess as a kid you just want to feel like you belong. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309973987958785">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Two ways. There was what I believed, and what I saw. What I believed in was shared love with everyone, with different people placing differently on a spherical spectrum of measurement, because everyone is different and have their own “signature” when they reflect on you. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309975179141120">https://twitter.com/melanated...
I was very curious about death. I was told there’s heaven and hell and you go to one of those places. Personally, I felt you’d either go into perpetual darkness, or become nothing, or your consciousness becomes a new being either here or in another dimension. https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1325309975921528832">https://twitter.com/melanated...
Lol I’ve had some of these thoughts for a while, come to think about it.
