And staying at the finish line, I got to remind myself of our collective struggle, to experience that joy over and over again.
The joy of struggle! I miss people that find joy in struggle! I have chosen things in my life to struggle for and working towards those things made me feel the most joyful that I ever felt in my life. From 2006 until 2013 when I earned my law degree and passed the New York State Bar, I worked hard for my health and for things I wanted and my life was joyful. I hope to feel that way again. Now I’m struggling for my rights and I’m happy that I’m fighting for things that matter to me but I’ll be joyful again one day.
