# 1 psa: i am not invincible (5/19/23)

Redwood Forest in Santa Cruz, California

i feel joy. i feel pain. i hurt. i fear. i weep. i cry. i laugh. i howl. i moan. i growl. i groan. i own that i am an anomaly. and so are you. if anything, i’m learning that what makes us the same is each of our individual uniqueness. so now when I feel that I am standing out in a crowd, my differences on full display, i straighten my back and stand a bit taller, puffing my chest while stabilizing my breath. curling my toes in order to feel my feet and ground. when I own the fact that all i am expected to be is me, while this world may try to tame my multi-dimensionality through all kinds of assimilation tactics, i know full well that no one can take my power away from me. that by re-membering who I am it will all work itself out in the end. that it is in the unknown that we stumble into finding ourselves. 

until next time, with Love, the DLB
