You Sho Is Ugly

Well well well. In previous entries I have been critical about my brothas perception of good hair. Why? See on Friday I was told by an old friend who happens to be a black man to get a relaxer. Also the previous Sunday I was asked when I was gonna straighten it or "Do something else" with my mane. These are just a few examples of the straight up rude comments that have come from men, men I know specifically about the quality of my hair.

Well Saturday, I finally got a compliment from a brotha I didn't know. Well it wasn't like a compliment per say, maybe just a solicitation? As I waited outside my car for my take out order to finish, two young men walked past and said used juvenile methods to gain my attention. Although I didn't reciprocate interest, I took notice that it was the 1st time in a WHILE someone on the street tried to holla!

Although I am reading into something so random, and potentially and irrelevant, I can say that what is usually annoyance, was actually appreciated. I have had to not take my brothas comments to heart as it relates to my hair, because it honestly hurts to hear the way they percieve it. So to the 2 boys that was tryna get on, THANK YOU. You made me feel like all black men didn't find my hair repulsive, (even if that wasn't your intention.
