Oh my god, I’m sobbing. That was beautiful. I read your words and they make so much sense to me, my heart soars. But then I imagine my brother, cousin, in-laws reading this and I am reminded of your struggle. The impenetrable white wall of ignorance, stubbornness, and very frail egos, who will twist these words into a weapon that they will use against you. I do not know how you manage to contain your rage so well.
