shoutout to everyone out there

constantly going through a lot
in poverty and underpaid for your skills and services
without help for disability
afraid
chronically sick
misgendered
misdiagnosed
traumatized

y'all are the real heros, simply for surviving.

someday I will have money, power, or some measure of influence,
and I will do my inhuman best to uplift you in any and all meaningful ways.

but for today, I salute you, and hope beyond hope that you able to keep being brave.
