On one hand I feel embarrassed by the disillusions my mind told me.

But on a different hand I see I didn’t know any better.

I didn’t know any better because my family didn’t, and my community didn’t, and their community didn’t see.

So change can start with me understanding, learning, and growing past these invisible blockades warping my vision.

I have enough power to change a lot.

I have these thoughts to get me through the days.

I am always worthwhile because I just am.

I am a daughter, a sister, a partner, a friend, a cousin, a student, a scientist.

I am every one of those things and also none of them.

I am fluid, I am flexible, I am kind, I am generous.

I am whole, I am forever growing, I am
