I had to comment because I too have lived in the south which has always struck me as such a place of contradictions. There is real beauty there, and lots of sweet gentle folk. But there is also a lot of ugly narrow minded thinking. I honestly don't think it's more than anywhere else, I think it's just southerners seem to wear their hearts on the sleeves, so you see good and bad more often. Perhaps this is what you need to be around at this time in your life. And while we can't always change the world to our liking, we can walk a path of our own choosing. Small changes happening daily can mount to big changes. A bit of Stina might be just what the south needs!!!! I adore your spirit.. hold tight to it. hugs from one of your fans!
