So a lot of the same stuff goes on in L.A. with different communities though a lot of the opposite happens and is widely accepted...I seen and heard of horrible thing females do to themselves hear in L.A. to look slim and It makes me sick... most of them are never happy either way... by the way... Good read
i hope this doesnt sound like a stupid question buuut... over there are women treated with less respect than men... i guess im expanding the topic... but after reading about the model portfolio and about you being supposedly overweight it makes me wonder
You've said a lot that I've felt in my home.
You're right, men who are intimidated by strong women resort to cheap shots and low blows usually about looks, intelligence or something generally only associated with women. We are called bitches when we act more aggressive or act "more like men".
You have a preference and that is your preference and no one elses. In general people who are afraid or dislike themselves will resort to putting down superficial things in another. Take for example, I just had an intense fight with my own brother. He put me down in every way possible...job, lifestyle, how I treat people, you name it, he said it. Very cruel. However, his comments are based on things he has no idea about, things he sees on the surface but neglects to know the inside story. Many people are like this.....we all fall prey to it in some way and to others it is a way of life.
Women are still expected to be demure, virginal and the perfect wife no matter how many coats of feminism are placed on top. Granted, feminism has done wonders but old habits die hard.
The person who wrote you an e-mail.....I wonder what they are up to currently? Who are they to decide?
I love/hate my home as much. I feel stiffled here and yet still love that I'm here and able to do what I do. It's in our nature to be different and follow a different road. It took my ugly fight with someone I loved to rediscover I am where I am because I choose it and I am different because I have to be.
Keep looking to where you want to be.....

That was very well said. I can relate to a lot of what you said. i was born in Cali, Colombia and get a lot of shit for it saying that I'm a drug lord. Its the 10% that make the rest look bad. For relationships I have always valued and look for people of different nationalities. I love to learn about different cultures. you are very beautiful and shouldn't be treated like crap because of skin color, but people will continue to be what they're taught. I am proud to be Colombian and Caleno means that I'm from Cali. I say be proud of your country and who you are, but break free when you can. to all that criticize you and say stupid things, from what you wrote your very intelligent and from your pictures your very beautiful, so they are ignorant and don't deserve to be in your presence. Take Care and Good Luck on your escape.
