I cannot take credit for this quote, nor do I know who the original author of this is, but I have been moved by the sentiment.
“Why do you need a label?”
Because there is comfort in knowing you are a normal zebra and not a strange horse. Because you can’t find community with other zebras if you don’t know you belong. And because it is impossible for a zebra to be happy or healthy spending its life feeling like a failed horse.
I felt like a failed horse for much of my life.
