 Got this idea from the venerable Der-Shing Helmer, author of The Meek, who posted on her Tumblr about how awesome we are.

People look different! It's really cool! I am continually fascinated by the physical differences between the billions of people on Earth.

I love my freckles. They're everywhere and the more I enjoy nature, the more pop up! I love my olive skin and my round face with high cheek bones and a tiny nose. I love that I look like five people and one person all at once. I love that my hands are tiny, even though it means I can't do normal things, like hold an Xbox controller! But I think the "weirdest" thing for me is how I can have dark hair and dark eyes and still be light enough for freckles and sunburns.

Freckley people like us are extra cute. :) That sounds about right, didn't you say you were black Irish?

I don't think I am, because my grandma is 100% Irish and looks pretty much like what you'd expect. And my uncle is pale and blue-eyed and ginger, so......

My grandpa on my father's side is German, and a bit darker. My grandpa on my mother's side is both Italian AND German, so I'm pretty sure I got the darkness from them. However, I do look kind of black Irish, so idgi.

I love my frizzy curly hair. Kids in school used to make fun of me for it but I know they was just jealous because their hair was boring and straight. ;P

Heck yeah frizzy curly hair! My mom has crazy curly frizzy hair that I am way jealous of (mine is super thin!).
