Roots

Roots. They form us, mould us into what we become as teenagers, grownups, adults. No matter how much we run from them, they always catch up. And that's not always a bad thing. In fact it can be good to realize how much of one's family one carries around. The place where I was born, the house I grew up in, the streets, the nooks and crannies, the scenery, the people, the mentality, the culture, the good side and the not so good side...they all add up to mix with the essence of me and make me who I am.

A person proud of her roots.
