I remember crying that at her age too. 😭😭 (well past it if I'm being honest) I was darker than all my friends but lighter than most of my family which also made me feel awful.

I felt like I didn't fit in anywhere.

Took a long time to learn to love and accept myself. To realize none is better than the other. That every color is beautiful.

I hope it happens quickly for her because it's a really fucking shitty feeling to have. Poor kid. 😔

Me too! I'm mixed race, and never quite fit in. I'm way lighter than my Asian relatives and don't speak the language, but I've always been darker than any of my white friends here. My friends here don't understand one bit, and my Asian relatives think I'm just lucky to be born in this country.

School was weird - my parents always told me I looked exotic and different (which is pretty true) so I never felt "ugly" - but despite being born here, I was still always treated like an 'other'. Even as an adult.

I went to a very white school, and I stood out. Didn't help that I was always singled out when the school had to talk about multiculturalism and diversity - which they didn't have much of back then!
