I may have gotten down on myself today. I may have done a little inward whining. I may have wished the weather would be different as the barometer hurts my brain. I may have discovered a mistake at work and felt it was the end of the world. I may have been offered a tentative contract of self-employment, heard from an old friend, cooked digby scallops and tiger prawns for dinner, and loved the sound of the rain. I may have questioned my value, lost some confidence and hated what the scale said.
What I did do was still live in my land of priviledge. By happenstance of birthplace and skin tone I have nothing to complain about. I have not had a perfect life but my deepest pains are born in my head and my heart, not worn on my outside to be made bigger by others.
I watched Da 5 Bloods tonight on Netflix. Spike Lee… wow. I am still processing what I watched. Even just the ‘reality’ was so different from what I have seen in movies before. It’s blend of factual and fictional is perfection. I am a different person for seeing it. #BlackLivesMatter
