Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
When I became homeless the first time, I chose family.
The second time, I chose friends.
Left alone the third time, I had no one else but myself.
I decided to choose the version of me that would be a hero to the younger me.
A brave transgender woman fighting for justice, speaking truth to power, and bravely taking the knocks for it.
Because the important decision in that was to fight for others, not just for myself, but as a reflection of where we are, fight for what my younger self needed, what I needed, what I still need, and do so by striking for others. String and deep, strike at the heart of the issues.
That decision has been ever-unfilding since then, and before then when similar decisions were made. But it has forever changed my life to give it to others. Because when all else fails, choosing yourself means choosing the humanity that you share with others.
