Reading this book, I thought of all the things my family and I, and my friends and I, say—the special language you guard with the people you love—and I felt joy.
Not only have I been blessed with incredible people in my life, but I also get to create and shape a unique language with them—whether it’s my parents, my brother, my cousin, my best friend, my close friends, the guy I’m seeing, or the lady who prepares my cappuccino each morning. This language, born from our shared thoughts and experiences, is ours alone, something no one outside could truly understand. It feels almost as if our language forms a shield, protecting us.
Language is everything. Freedom is everything.
My people are everything.
