Today, I am thankful for freedom. The freedom not enjoyed by my ancestors; to go where I want and when I want, to think for myself, to read without it being a secret, to look any person in the eye and speak my mind, to worship any god I choose, to be considered a person and not property.
I am mostly thankful for the freedom to be me, whoever I might be.
(Maybe this should've been my Juneteenth post, but I've always reflected on The 4th this way.)
