What it is to be human
(Uplift | Azriel ReShel) Each one of us feels love. Each one of us has a dream. We all bleed when our white, black, yellow or brown skins are cut. And we all feel pain. Being human is truly about the heart connections, those times where we share our vulnerability, our fears, our stories, and our longings. The times where we bare our souls to one another. Our most human moments are the moments of authenticity, where we share what we truly feel, and we drop the masks. Our shared humanity is what unites us, whether we are from an African village, a snowy igloo, or a New York ghetto.
