March 5 question -
If for one day you could be anyone or *thing* in the world, what would it be? Describe, tell why, and any themes, goals, or values they/it inspire in you.
I just want to be me. I'd like to be loved and accepted as me, for me. But, that isn't happening in my homeland right now. So maybe I could be a time traveler for a day. Go back to the time when my ancestors ruled this land under my feet. Meet my people. Be a friend to a Lenni-Lenape leader in the time before the invaders. I want to see the world 🌎 as they did, to feel what they felt, to experience the culture, to be ... A Majority for a day. Surrounded by my own people, ones who look like me, value what I value, are what I am. For a day.
A day wouldn't be enough. Unless it was my last, perhaps. Maybe it is what awaits me in "the beyond"? It would be nice to belong.
Well, anyway, the theme for the A to Z team this year is Community. How blogging unites and supports our community, that sort of idea. Anyone hoping to guest post should reach out to a team member soon. We're trying to schedule our posts so we have more time in April to visit participants.

I just want to be me too. And at least in this group, you're loved for who you are.
ReplyDeleteSame, here - I just want to be me. And yes, you are accepted in this group.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteDon't ever let what is going on in your homeland keep you from being authentic. You can't them but maybe your being yourself will encourage others to be themselves.
Shalom shalom
I love you exactly as you are, but you definitely deserve for others to know you instead of pre judging you.
ReplyDeleteIt would be cool to see life before Europe came over. I mean, really, what did everyone in Central and South America speak before the Spanish came here?
