Survival

I used art as an escape.

Just because I'm different from me doesn't mean that I owe you an explanation for my difference.

Survival is speaking my truth in a world that doesn't take the time to understand my truth.

Sharing someone's story is a privilege, not a right. Nobody owes you a story.

Survival is speaking my truth in a world that doesn't take the time to understand my truth.

When you see somebody that looks different from you and they raise your eyebrow, put your eyebrow down. Get to know them for them.

Just because I'm different from you, doesn't mean I owe you an explanation for my difference.

When you go through adversity, you shouldn't pity the life you have; you should respect it and don't question it.

Survival for me is speaking my truth in a world that doesn't take the time to understand it. - barry lee
