“Her ex has her name tattooed. On her neck!”

“No, no, no. That means nothing, that means nothing. Every person I’ve dated

has my name tatted.”

“I want to be with her, but she doesn’t want to get married.”

“Well, she doesn’t want to get my name tatted.”

I don’t think about it. I don’t think about death.

When we were young my older brother once said to me: ‘I bet you cannot think about a white rhinoceros.’ And immediately, of course, I thought about a white rhinoceros. But I said to myself: ‘I’m going to teach myself to not think about a white rhino.’ And I’ve really put a lot of mind time into figuring out how not to be aware of something that I don’t want to be aware of. I want to detach myself from that fear.

His mother wanted a break. You know, it’s hectic. She’s a single mother.

She just bought a house. It’s a lot taking care of a kid on your own. She thought maybe it would be a good experience for him to come live with Uncle Olasegun for the summer. As soon as she suggested it, I was like: ‘I want to do this.’ And here’s the reason: she did the exact same thing for me. We lost our mom when we were kids. I was really young at the time—like three. Whitney was twelve or thirteen. She and my other sister ended up taking care of me: cooked for me, took me to school, made sure I had a shower, brushed my teeth. Back then I thought she was annoying, because of my ignorance. But now it’s crazy for me to think about.

Tell your friends, or anyone who is having problems:

tell them that we are in heaven.

It’s a hard balance. Right? I’m trying to understand how to set boundaries,

and when to let kids figure it out and grow. I’ve tried to let him make some small decisions, then a little bit bigger decisions over time. My biggest fear is that he’s gonna get hurt, right? When I say ‘hurt,’ I mean, like, you know, fall off his bike, or trip off the sidewalk, or get kidnapped by aliens, or something.
