I know what you're feeling right now. You're not wrong. But I'm telling you its ok to hope. The sun rose this morning on so many freshly rebellious hearts. Why did it take them so long to wake up? Hundreds of years of brainwashing. But they're coming around. Change is here.

The fight is not over. We might not even see the finish line in our lifetimes. Please remember that this fact does not mean we lay down our hope. Lift up your neighbor. Broken hearts can kill. Put the music on today. Something loud. I know you're scared. I am too.

You can't let fear rule, tho. Find that which keeps you afloat today. Music, food, books, the green grass outside, the smell of your baby's hair. Stay there. Take it in. So long as we are still alive hope is not lost.

Stay alive.

That's what I want from you.

Keep breathing.
