It all started when i was born
obvously,
I never understood why
my name was taino
so one day I asked my dad
"pop, why did you name me Taino."
he laughed
and said
"Because your mom wanted to name you Elija"
so then
I asked my mom
"Mom, why did you let pop change your mind?"
she answered
"Because i hadn't thought of that name and I liked it."
my father also told me that
my name is a Puerto Rican indian tribe.
I used to be like
a cat
and a dog
with my name.
I hated it
but, then I reallized
my name is different
and I love it.
I literally
have never
ever
ever
ever
met anyone with
my name.
I have never even found
someone online or
in a book with my name.
I find it kind of
funny.
I even wanted to change
my name when
I was younger.
Everyone always told me
"You will love your name when you are older."
and guess what
they were right.
