I am always thinking about how @oya speaks about how Black folks are a triumph, and it is in that spirit that I write this message.

Reminder, with love, that we live in a backwards world. The ruling class worships the death cult of racial capitalism, and they spend much of their endless money trying to crush you and me. The folks running things are hateful, narrow-minded, greedy, and selfish. The societies we grew up in have been strangled and zombified by these people, and the result is wholesale destruction of everything they can get their hands on.

So if you ever feel like you just don't fit in or like the world just doesn't have the right space for you, please remember that you were never supposed to fit. You were supposed to die, long since. But you didn't. You're still here.

The ruling class has killed their imagination in service of profit and power, and so of course the social norms they have wrought don't include us. They can't even imagine our existence, let alone see us for who we are! This is their fault, their shortcoming, their ignorance. They are backwards and regressive and pathetic.

You, however, are magnificent. Just the way you are. And don't you forget it.
