When we are asked to select a race we are categorizing our selves so people can racial profile us. Am I of the Mexican race? Nope, black or white? Nope. Soanish? Latin? Indian? No. I quite frankly do not believe in multiple races. I mean the human race of course, but I am not of the Mexican race. I am affiliated with Mexican culture and ethnicity, but not of race.
I feel like in any application when we choose a category we label ourselves and that just creates boundaries that people of other cultures can't cross.

Heatwave
Heatwave is a very interesting movie. It depicts how the racism was brewing and how it all just erupted. One of of the quotes that really struck me had been when this one person was saying "stop hurting me" because the racism since the beginning of time had been there.
Not all white people are bad of course, but not all black people are good.
To me this is about perspective, because I had to put myself in the shoes of all four sides. From the ones that caused the hate and the ones that wanted to fight back, to the ones that really were living their lives ad the innocent that just wanted an opportunity.
To me this showed that not everyone has an opportunity, but that doesn't mean they should stop half way to actually achieve anything.

Life
I may be 17 and don't know what 'life' is avout, but my life consists of ups and major downs, at times the downs get more deep and the ups are a slight push. Frankly, my life is well shit but I mean I'm a teen so who's life isn't shit around this age?
I'm pretty sure moray of the people who are in high school already know what vodka or tequila taste like. I'm positive that at least a few have smoked a joint or smoked a cigarette or have done other types of self harm.
For girls, right now is at that complicated time where we try to look for someone or feel like we need something. Something to fill our esteem up. And it shouldn't be that, including myself I look for that type of comfort but not in a man but in red lipstick or my dear friend Mary Jane or my other friends Don Julio. They are not the best of people, but they help me lighten up from a crappy day.
It just sucks being human. I was about to type it sucks being a girl, but then again guys have shit times too. So it just sucks being human. It's just shit everywhere all around.

Social Media
So I have done it, I deleted my Facebook, snapchat, Tumblr and that's it. I feel weird but at the same time it's for my own good, I guess..
