You don't necessarily have to do anything once you acknowledge your privilege. You don't have to apologize for it. You need to understand the extent of your privilege, the consequences of your privilege, and remain aware that people who are different from you move through and experience the world in ways you might never know anything about.

I like what the internet offers: the ability to get people interested in your mind, and have a chance if you're not conventionally attractive.

Intellectually, I know I am worthy, however arbitrary a thing worthiness is, and have always been worthy.
