Each human being has had that sensation of being caged from time to time. We are not saved from being white or black or rich or poor; we’re not saved from being highly educated or illiterate. Each person who breathes has had that sensation of being caged, and from time to time we need to know someone else felt like that. Okey dokey. I’m not by myself. I can get out of this. I may be able to evict myself from depression...
You need to know someone was there. Somebody was lonely before you. Someone was called out of her name, before you. Someone was treated badly, before you. Someone has had benign neglect forced upon them before you. And yet, miraculously, someone has survived; and done better than that: thrived. And done better than that: thrived with some passion, some compassion, some human and some style.
-Maya Angelou
