that “blackbird” should be interpreted as “black girl”, in the context

Blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly, into the light of a dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free

You were only waiting for this moment to be free
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

“Living an honest life online isn’t about oversharing or deleting every filter; it’s about noticing when a post props up ego at the expense of presence. … Letting go of what doesn’t serve us — fear of judgment, dopamine loops, algorithmic pressure — creates room for what does: genuine connection and inner ease.”
