i ran into one of my cousins last week at a warriors game. i haven’t seen her in a couple of years. she’s a fellow gemini and we’ve always had a great relationship. she came up to me and i totally didn’t recognize her because she looked so much older (she was 16 the last time i saw her). she looked about 25. she’s going to berkeley now and her claim to fame is that she’s kobe’s personal translator for chinese.<\/p>\n
we were catching up and she said the last time she saw me, i was with a black guy. i told her we’d broken up years ago, but on friendly terms.<\/p>\n
she leans in close and whispers, “is it true, once you go black, you never go back?”<\/p>\n
“i don’t know,” i said.<\/p>\n
“were you able to go back?”<\/p>\n
i think about it. “i guess i kind of ejected. i went european.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
