Accent, I hate you.
You're so hard to understand.
Yet, I love you too.

The author's comments:
I hate my heavy accent, it makes me feel like everyone thinks I'm a dumb hillbilly. I feel stupid because of it, and often try to mask it. But one day I realized that this terrible accent is a part of who I am. If I hadn't grown up where I did, or wasn't around the people that gave me my accent, I wouldn't be the person that I am today.

So in a way, I love my accent, I wouldn't be me without it.
