It's interesting how the 'case file' format, typically used for objective documentation, becomes such a potent insturment for revealing subjective truth and the systematic erasure of identity, a point with which I profoundly concur.
I can’t imagine what this was like - to feel wrong in your own family because of skin they gave you. The contrast of the brown skin and the porcelain is harsh - and I’m sorry you lived it.
Aww thank you Julie. On a positive note - all the girls that used to bully me went on to burn their skin under lamps or pasting on fake tan. That always makes me chuckle.

Thank you. So much of our lives is recorded and often doesn't reflect an individuals lived truth.

You are shining now, no longer misfiled. <3
