Am I the Only One?

Am I the Only One?

Am I the only one who feels this way?
Feels that they want to be a part of something bigger than themselves
Where they can be seen and heard

Am I silly for wanting this?
Wanting to belong in this space and in this world?
Where I am not alone
Where I can be myself
Where I don’t dim my own light

Am I the only one who feels this way?
That I belong here
That I am worth it
Am I the only one?

I can’t be the only one

I am: Afghan-American, muslim, a cis female, social worker, human rights activist, intersectional feminist, libra, and animal lover who is heartwarming the world one step at a time.

Things I believe in:
No human is illegal
Immigrants make America great
Black lives matter
Women's rights are human rights
Love is love
Trans rights are human rights
My body my choice
No ban, no wall
Ending gender-based violence
The future is female
Water is life and climate change is real
We are not free until everyone is free
Spread kindness
Be your true authentic self

I am here to voice my beliefs, concerns, and opinions about the things that have and are currently affecting my life. Thanks for reading!
