I’m still chewing on that part about happiness not being a natural state; but in my first reading of the interview, I felt relieved. I was comforted by Kincaid’s very frank acceptance of unhappiness and pessimism. I’ve battled with my own melancholic demeanor and never thought to accept it; the best I’ve done was to try to rationalize it. My winning rationale, thus far, is that my demeanor is rooted in some very odd behavior from my childhood.
The author is NinaG: About
This is a ‘personal’ blog. It’s about me and what interests me. This is why I started this blog.
NinaG has been my internet moniker for some time now. Nina is my first name, which means Grace; that’s where the ‘G’ comes from.
I’m young but throughout my life thus far, I’ve been a writer, a reader (boy, if I could get paid to read), a statistician, and a student of anthropology and of mathematics.
Creative non-fiction is my favorite genre.
I enjoy reading works by black women.
I like using my hands to make things.
If you’ve never met a rhythm-less dancer – hello! I mean I really love [to] dance.
I like to write poetry with a little bit of humor.
I think this is a fairly good description of me but this entire blog is about me, so check out the other pages and posts!
