Yall ever have a crush on someone…
And then you learn that’s your cousin and start thinking “i need to get out of this town” and just refuse to have a crush on anyone there ever again bc you realize damn near everyone there is related you and you dont know if thats your first cousin or like your 6th cousin cos they all hang out together like close family so they may as well just all be your first cousins
That happened to my mom in the same town. But they actually dated and then when they realized they were related, they broke up. And also my mom is her sister’s husband’s cousin. And the only reason thats not incest is bc my mom and aunt have different fathers so my mom and her brother in law are also cousins, but my aunt and her husband are unrelated.

As someone that is black in the south, I am so glad I never experienced that shit, my grandfather has like 5+ siblings and my grandma had 10+ siblings and all but the first born were all treated terribly and it was all so bad that she straight up didn't know about many of her siblings.

that reminds me of the last time i went to mexico lol my cousin dragged me along to her usual hang out spots and would let me socialize with her friends and one guy was very persistent with me. like following me begging to get my number, dance with him, go to his house etc. well when she noticed she hit him hard because he was being handsy and was ...... reply
Well.. i did have a small crush on a cousin once upon a time but that was only because we saw each other for the first time when we were teens and we didnt really knew about each other's existence growing up. He was my 2nd cousin but they lived very far. It was cut short and nothing really happened. If i'd be asked if I wouldve went after him even ...... reply
