Latina

So if you don't know me already, well one thing I can tell you is I am very proud of my Latin American heritage. Yes, my family comes from a third world country and I am 100% PROUD! Obviously I wish Nicaragua would prosper and that the poverty in the country would diminish but hey, you work with what you got, right?

I love absolutely everything about my culture from the food, clothing, language, music, dancing, men... HAHA I mean EVERYTHING! I embrace it as much as I can and I probably brag about it a little too much..don't hate! Don't get me wrong, every now and than my curly hair drives me crazy and I wish it was straight forever but in my family it comes with the territory. Now, I'm not your typical Latina you see in movies, I'm pretty fair skinned and I have green eyes but thats the thing about us, we are all SO different. There are Latinas with light skin, blonde hair and blue eyes and there are also Latinas with dark hair, dark eyes and dark skin, like my Tia. None of us are the same, well maybe in the hot blooded part, where we have a temper and our blood tends to boil faster than others...Learn to love it. But anyways, I'm not saying being Latina is the best, but I would never change my culture and ethnicity for anything in the world. SOY 100% ORGULLOSA DE SER LATINA <3

xo besos

p.s - I love when people love our latin culture and heritage but HATE when people try to act like they are it. Please don't, embrace where you are from.
