    If we remain positive and accept what is, if we tend to pay attention to the beauty of the practice but not examine the insides, we will be less likely to give ourselves the benefit of the doubt, and we will forgo the potential beauty of our birth culture, and if we forgo the potential of our birth culture, it’s harder to see the beauty within ourselves.

    If you’re adopted, you have rights. We tend not to share our stories because we’ve been taught that whatever problems we encounter are our fault. We’ve been the scapegoats for the 1%. If we want to flip the script, then we must share our stories and listen to others outside the scope of what was traditionally acceptable.
