Sometimes I see people toss them to the ground or keep walking as a penny sits on the street, waiting for someone to pick it up for their savings bank.

It contains issues on race, finding my identity amongst my passion for pop culture, and my love for romance genre, especially in historical fiction novels and Days of Our Lives. Yes, writing is is fun. (sarcasm). And tomorrow Robert and I are no longer "twins." :(
