Out And About
I loved going out in my 20's. My friends and I would go out on Friday evenings just to unwind and wrap up for the week. I would normally be the only one with albinism amongst my friends. That particular evening, the house was on fire, the table was filled with lots of adult beverages, laughter, going to the dance floor here and there. I used to play it safe with adult beverages because my sight has limitations especially in the evenings.
I stood up to go to the restroom as I was preparing to hit the road. Before that I ensured that I settled the bill for what I consumed. One of the ladies had more than what her system could take and this placed us in a sticky situation. All I heard was the waitresses saying that it's that table with a white lady and all of us ended up in the managers office to account for that bill. From that day when we go out I always ask for the bill and make sure that everybody pays because I am the easiest to spot in a group.
Dating A Brown Skin Man
A partner preference is a personal choice. My preference is dating brown skinned men as the saying goes that the darker the berry the sweeter the juice.
I've had to break up with a guy I loved in my early 20's because his family did not want to accept that I have albinism. We were young and naughty, we continued and he promised not to report us to his family. I ultimately left because I knew that it will not go anywhere as I cannot change my being.
Now that I am older and wiser it's easier to relate because there is awareness about us. I do not deal with explaining myself or seeking approval from others about relationships.
From Christiana
Christiana is a young lady living with Albinism. Her husband has albinism and they have three beautiful babies.
Her short take on a partner choice is that she preferred males living with albinism because they share similar challenges as she had fears of explaining herself all the time she meets a new guy. She says "This calms my mind because we can easily find solutions for our family together".
