Rise and Struggle

There is a tremendous amount of guilt in not being interested in one's cultural past, but damn it's depressing. There's only so much struggle I can celebrate especially when I don't feel much kinship on either side of the hyphen. I give my fifty dollars a year to the museum and hope that it supports those who have an interest. Meanwhile, I scan the emails for anything novel or upbeat, and then when I don't find it I keep it rolling. I mean really--Good morning to post-WWI oppression and lynching all in one email. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that scene? (reaches for sci-fi novel)
