I think we start in life the same way we start in the DMV. In a line.As we're waiting to take our place on earth we're the same. We stand single file waiting to find out which family we're assigned to, and which country we'll call home. What you get says more about your place in line than it does about what you deserve.
When your turn arrives the line attendant reaches into a closet, and hands you a Human Suit. Some get a black one. Some get brown, some get white, or yellow, or mixed, or albino. Some are flawless. Some have missing pieces, or too much of one thing and too little of another. That's cool, because the suit is a BIG thing, but it's not EVERYTHING. In fact, it really only serves two purposes:
1. When you zip its blend of epidermis and amnesia silk around you, you forget everything about what existed before you wore it. Like we're the same under our suits. All of us.
And...
2. It creates the perspective of life that will be yours. It will filter
your experiences through the filtration system you wear, and influence how you see things, and how you're seen.
The primary responsibility of a lifetime is to accept each perspective as valid, and important, to the overall narrative of Human Beings.
We know ourselves through the stories we tell.
We know the world through the stories others tell.

You don't have to be rich, or popular, or pretty, or smart, or this thing, or that thing, to use it. It belongs to you if you're living a life. It's a fortress for those with power. It's the hammer that tears it down for those without.
Whoever you are,
from wherever you call home,
it's time to raise your voice.
You have a write to live.
