"I am a twentieth-century black Lizzie Bennett.  I like a boy.  I like talking to him, I like his eyebrows, I like his laugh when I tease him, i like how he debates me on nineteenth-century heroines and twentieth-century superheroes, I like his secret sports conversations with my dad, I like how he focuses so hard when he dances even though he's not good at it, I like how he skates like he was born to do it.  I like what I like and I don't like what I don't.  I have nothing to apologize for."
