Facing it


I am no model, but I need to say that some of the emotions this young woman articulated really resonate with me:

How I feel uncomfortable with my priviledge, but even more so...

... how I feel uncomfortable sharing the struggles I've had in spite of my priviledge, and even more so...

...how I feel uncomfortable sharing the struggles I've had made worse because of my priviledge.

I know the only way to become more comfortable is to be myself, in whatever place and face God gave me, and to wear myself out doing for others and living in gratitude for what I am each day.

But I am glad someone articulated a discomfort that is out there, in her own voice - so different from mine, but so recognized.
