Courage

I chose this story because I am the story myself and I want to use it to inspire the world that we can be anything we want to be no matter out root. This story is everything to me. It reminds me of who I am and makes me realize that life is very simple and everyone is important to me no matter our background or race.

The story I shared reminds me of what is going on around me. The pain people are experiencing as a result of crisis situations and the need to reach out to these people and spread some love even if it is just by hearing their stories.

Through war-torn eyes by Shidoo Tarkaa

It’s a story I’ve never told and seemed like a good place to start excavating myself. I know this is a common experience, but as a child I thought it was standard and when I realized it wasn’t, that all families weren’t like ours, it seems strange, but my identity collapsed. I’d like to share those parts so that there are fewer dark corners for people like me to get lost in. – Chantelle
