LikeLiked by 1 person
That’s aninteresting question, Ivor. We are all of some type of heritage. Perhap,s while being raised she was taught to be snobbish about others. I apprecaite your reading and commenting on this story. I was hesitant to reblog since the first time I did there weren’t any comments or likes. 😳
It’s a subject that may hit a nerve in people. My point in posting was to showcase that we all have our experiences with rejection due to something people may not accept. Sad😒
Have a wonderful day…Thank you, Isadora 😎

Wanted to share this poem of mine, which is essentially my take on the sense of nostalgia that is evoked when you visit a place where you have dwelled in the past.
