This is beautiful! I have a litany of things I thought I was bad at too, because I wasn't in first place. But now I realize drawing, doing hair, garment making (crochet and sewing and weaving), and even writing and public speaking are things I do thrive at for my own sake.

And I also affirm that even though my beauty leans Black nerd, I still have a vibrancy that is unmatched.

Truly an inspiration. I find a lot of similarities with my own life and it brings me some peace to read your story, makes me hopeful for the future. Not perfect, but beautiful and made with love. Thank you 🖤
