Broaden My Horizons

Shawnice Pate 1991 (Brooklyn)



I normally don't care of who I like…except the Mexican people.

It's not my thing because I cannot relate to them.

I've dated Blacks and Puerto Ricans in my past.

I cannot relate to everything.

But I can understand with reason.

Since everyone has their reasons.

I wish not to discriminate on the things and people I like.

My interest is to broaden my horizons.

The time to get out of comfort zone.

The time to explore new topics and foods.
