Today’s my birthday, and as I reflect on another year, I’m also thinking about the privilege—and responsibility—we share as citizens. In the Bay Area especially, our voices, our votes, and our engagement can shape not just policy, but the future of our communities.

Some gay men overwork not because they’re ambitious, but because rest feels unsafe. Productivity becomes proof of worth. Stillness feels like failure. But burning out isn’t a badge of honor. It’s a signal your body has been surviving, not living.

Black boys are socialized to be so many things other than children in the US. We gotta be strong, street smart, easy to manage, non-threatening to bigots, etc before most of us know who we are as people. From this aspect, I understand why so many brothers are angry today.
