Wow, I have a lot to tell my younger self. A lot you already told your younger self :)
I'll make sure my future kiddos call you up and you can tell them to embrace their biracial selfs, hehe :)
What great advise!!! I have a tendency to have deep conversations (or 'healthy' arguments) in texting and boy oh boy its gone south at times.
Always better to do it verbally or face to face if possible.
love these!

I wish I'd gotten the "don't drunk dial" advice sometime around college. I think I'm out of that phase now, but it sure caused me some embarrassment in my mid-20's. And you're right on the money about having serious conversations over text message, as well. That's gotten me into some trouble in my relationship; misunderstandings happen so easily via text!
My goodness....you were speaking straight to my CURRENT self in a lot of these ash. the one about "he'll be with you if he wants to"...man, don't you wish we knew that all those years ago ;) great post as always lady!
