Bad things happen.
And we have the choice.
Of acting.
Or of nothing.

Sometimes acting is uncomfortable. Or challenging. Or terrifying.

But sometimes nothing is WRONG.

Id rather stand and be wrong, than sit ignorantly by and be WRONG.

White Privilege

It is odd--feeling like a villain simply due to race. Being attributed to an ignorant, immature "majority".

To feel as if I dont matter.

But, to be frank, its about damn time privilege ends. And I'm happy to endure for equality and love. Hopefully, one day, race really won't matter--until then, I will toe the line and stand up when I see an opportunity.

You are who you need be.

This world needs you. Not you in ten years. Not you when you're happy. Not you after.....whatever--

You. Now.

And this journey of you-ness, this travel to be your most you and, therefore, the best YOU this world has ever known, is imperative.

A constant effort to keep getting better. To keep learning, to further yourself-those around you-EVERYTHING. This is the secret to life, the universe, and everything.

Just keep at it. Even if you feel lost, if you are honestly trying, you are doing well. We create our reality. So, as AURYN (The Neverending Story) states,

"Do what you wish"

How unfortunate...

The problem of communication.
The issue with consciousness.

Our feelings are valid, but unable to be used for evidence. Feelings, emotions,  can be swayed. Can be influenced and forced.

We must strive for fact.  For equality.  For love.

We must fight, with peace, for our connections to the rest of mankind-- to the rest of life-kind.

And we must hope and trust that we are not too late or too far gone.

You

are important.
are valued.
are loved.

Be yourself. For you--

Are Necessary.

New year, next step.

A new year.
A fresh start.
And much on which to improve.

May we be cleansed, blessed,
And empowered.

And never let anyone tell us we can't.

For their power is in oppression.
And ours in--
Hope.
Trust.
Honor.
Love.
