One of my most cherished toys from my child hood was my football. My dad and I would go out in the back yard, and play catch all afternoon when I got home from pre-school, and it was the only thing that really let me fit in with the family. I was, and still am, the one that stands out from the rest. I wear the black, and listen to the “dark” music, and they only see the outer layer of who I am.
I never wanted to be in the kitchen cooking with all the girls at holidays, like all of my other girl cousins. I wanted to be outside with all of the guys playing football. Where I felt Like I was finally looked at for not what I was wearing, but for my love of the game.

I can really relate to this blog, i have all guy cousins and 1 girl cousin. She was usually at her moms for the holidays. My cousins and I would always play baseball or football or just talk.
