unarmed black man, lipedema. All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;

J.R.R. TOLKIEN

“All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

(The Lord of Rings)
