There’s an Andy Warhol quote that often runs through my mind: “They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.” This seems especially apt as we ring in the new year. (1/6)
The change from 11:59pm to 12:00am tonight will be a welcome one, but there’s much yet to be done. An arbitrary passing moment in time won’t fix what’s broken. (2/6)
I pick a word to set my intention each new year, and this time around, it feels right to choose “commitment.” (3/6)
-I’m committed to wearing a mask...over my mouth and nose at all times, like a respectful human who wants to protect fellow humans.
-I’m committed to contributing to efforts to make this world a safer, more equitable place to inhabit. (4/6)
-I’m committed to using the platform I’m privileged to have to educate about disability & amplify work of disabled people.
-I’m committed to loving fiercely & never taking people in my life for granted. Lucky doesn’t cover how I feel to be with the people I love tonight. (5/6)
If tonight is hard for you, know that I’m sending both love and genuine hope that 2021 is kind to you. 💖 (6/6)
