This random girl

"I like her!!" That was my first impression of her.

She seems a very nice girl. She reminds me of this girl that I used to know. I wonder whether her Horoscope is Aries coz I always get this warm, gentle and friendly feelings when I meet one.

"What is a nice girl like her doing with that boyfriend!?" That was the 2nd time I saw her- in the gym playing soccer.

Pretty racist of me, I know. It shocked me too. Maybe that's how other ppl see me too? I wonder how many of my friends and his friends have also thought about this. Maybe they all wonder why ppl like us go out with other cultures. It's not like we aren't accepted by our own ppl. If we are popular enough around our ppl, why do we choose partners from different cultures rather than our own? I think cross-culture relationships are very tricky. There are so many differences between two parties. In a way, you have unlimited things to talk about, but at the same time, you are looking for the similarities, too. I find it hard personally. Sometimes, I feel I betray my race. I remember I went to see this movie and this sister was the obstacle between her loving brother (black) and her new best friend (white). She said to her, "I know I am selfish, but you aren't one of us. We can't let you take the best of us away from us. There are plenty of you out there to go out with. But not him!!".

"Is she a threat to me?" That was the question I had after I left the gym.

Unfortunately, I still have my self-doubts and I like the girl so much that I think she is better than me. She seems very nice, confident and most of all, she is happy!! Oh, and she plays soccer!

"I wish her boyfriend is treating her the way she wants and she is as happy as she seems to be :) " Goodbye, my random girl.
