I am Black Daria
So, I know most of you are wondering why this blog is called “Black Daria” if you ever saw the 90’s MTV show “Daria”. You just get it. But for those that have not, let me explain.
So there was a TV show in the late 90’s called Daria. Which was about a misunderstood conscious introverted white American teenager that lived in the suburbs. She had a normal life with a working mom, dad, and a spoiled little sister. She was very shy and isolated herself on purpose in many situations.I relate so well with Daria because I always felt like a conscious introverted black girl since high school. I always felt older than my age. Kind of like an old soul.
In a way Daria was just like me, she hated the way society was and had a deep understanding of the world around her. Her conversations were in depth and not for the closed minded. She was misunderstood but pretty easy to understand if you just took the time to talk to her. That’s if you could get past her RBF.
People used to think I was always mad because of my resting bitch face. Which made me look unapproachable. I wasn’t doing it on purpose. It’s just how my face is!
I always felt like the Black Daria because I have so much to talk about but felt like no one was ready to fully listen.
In more ways than one the show inspired me. I related to Daria more than I like to admit. Black Daria just fits me. It’s my inner creativity.
I just added a splash of chocolate to her.
