Feel pain, grieve, be hurt and embrace it... but never give up hope. Things will be better. The world will be better.
Not every shooting is connected to mental health. Some people are simply malicious... Every shooting is connected to, by definition, one specific thing... I’ll give you a hint- it exists for the sole purpose of killing.
People shouldn’t feel crazy for thinking that we as a society could do better. If everybody with goodness in their heart got up and did something to change the world, it would be a much better place. We just need to remember that we can do it, no matter how hard it may seem.
Trans boys and girls all around the world- don’t let anybody tell you that you’re not perfect just because you’re being who you are. Keep on going— embrace yourself. You are beautiful no matter what.
Put pressure on your lawmakers. Don’t let them off the hook.
