We often think there is something wrong about owning our humanity – as if we are supposed to be something else – that we are supposed to be not what we are. Yet our humanity is everything we have and everything about it is inspiring – that we have bodies, thoughts, feelings and sensory pathways. That we have curiosity and a sense of wonder, the capacity to learn and grow, the ability to express and create from our own unique self. That we have each other. That no one on earth can be who we are and yet we are connected to everyone else on earth by the humanity we share. It’s not permission to be ourselves we need. Being human is our birthright. It’s learning to be okay with the amazingness of that.
