I don’t expect people to have the same privileges as me or to have lived a life like mine. So I don’t expect them to share the same belief systems or values as me. I feel very fortunate to have found a community where I am accepted as I am—flawed and ever-evolving. Because if you are not changing or evolving, that means you are also not growing.

So, I am not angry at those who hold belief systems different from mine.

Those who know me know that I love shopping. I used to be a bit of a hoarder, but not anymore. Just like with friends and with food, I’ve learned that everything in life is better when it’s quality over quantity.
