Dear Diary, I Was Born Into a Nightmare Pt. 1. Content Warning.
I remember when I was just starting high school, and my dad had been deported from the United States back to Nigeria. At that time, my mom could not afford to keep our condo in Maryland so she, my sister, and I moved in with my Grandmother in Washington, DC. My mom's older brother and I took a walk to the convenience store and on the way there I remember him telling me that he was jealous of me. He said it was because of my age and that if he could be my age and go back he would. I didn't really get it at the time. He said, "You'll understand what I mean one day."
