"THE BORN AND THE MADE"
​by Jeff Monday

THE BORN AND THE MADE

  
Picture
Sometime soon, we will live side-by-side with our creators. We look like them, talk like them, even laugh and cry like they do. They made us in their image. But we are not the same. Some of us are proud to be different. Some of us wish only to blend in, to disappear into the crowd. To not be ridiculed or harassed or attacked simply because of who we are. Now, we don’t have a choice. Anyone can see our true nature, whether we wish it or not. Now, we have to forge our own identity. To stand proud. To say loud and strong “We are not BORN. We are MADE.”
