Deep In The Mud

"There is only one happiness in this life and that is to be loved" - George sand Aurora has always been the 'unattractive, unattainable' girl throughout her whole life. No man has ever approached her with the intention of courting her, rather they approached her to learn more about her best friend. She was better known as a 'DUFF'. But now with her best friend dead and a baby depending on her, she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage that will test and strengthen her character. Like most 21st century women, she views herself as a feminist. One who doesn't believe in love. She views love as a Capitalist movement created to control unsuspecting minds while breaking their bank accounts. But she finds herself falling in love with a man. Not just any man, her friends boyfriend who also happens to be her husband.

Pretty privilege. We have all heard about it but not all of us have been in a privileged position to experience the full pleasures of it. I for one have yet to experience it but that's how life is.

I remember when l was a child my mother would always tell me that people would be shocked whenever they would see me with her or whenever she introduces me as her daughter. All because it was seen as taboo for a lighter skinned woman to give birth to a dark skinned child.

That manifested itself throughout my life whether from friendships or awards or anything that was seen as an achievement. I had a best friend in first grade and she was lighter skinned, as what the natives call yellowbone. We were topdeck. dark and light.
