For the words of home lead me to know not only who I’m not but also who I am—
I am Brave.
I am Kind.
I am made in the image of the Divine.
And I am loved.
This is the language the walls of home have opened wide to breathe.
And I am home now megaphoned,
Carrying this language into every other word I will ever learn to speak.
