To All The Boys I Loved Before....I Still Love You!

I say that still I love you, but not in the ways in which you might imagine. I love you, but not the way I once did. I love you, but not enough to wish upon any star in the sky that things had worked out the way I had hoped them to before between us. But.....

One year ago today, I was sitting outside in a folding chair nervous as hell to be around a new group of people I'd never met, his family and friends. Surrounded by rival Alabama & Auburn fans, 65+ in. TV, loud speakers, hot fresh meat on the grill and an endless supply of alcohol. It was my first date. He had been pursuing me for several months prior. I waved off his attention and pursuit of me as a childhood-crush type of thing that would wear off in a few days. I however, with the push from close friends, reluctantly accepted the invitation and gave him my answer after about a week.

We Have A Dream.....One Fueled By Dr. King

In 1968, he had a Dream! 

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., had a dream that African American people would be afforded the same rights, privileges, and justice as the rest of mankind. However;

"....One hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition." ~MLK Jr. 

Dear Montbello High,

To you, 

When we met I had no inkling the impact you would have on my life. I was completely unaware of the love we would share or how long you would stay in my heart. As a young 25 year old, recent graduate/two-time Alumni of Troy University, (Troy, Alabama), and newly residing resident of Denver, Colorado, I was looking for a new lease on life and a place that would afford me new opportunities.
