you don’t have to form your politics around pain and resentment. you can form your politics around love and freedom. you don’t have to convince anyone that your pain is real, it just is. you don’t have to follow people who lead you into despair. you dont have to hang around people who make you feel unsure of yourself. you don’t have to accept it when people tell you who you are. I hope you are surrounded by people who do what it takes to really see you, instead of just invent you and accuse you. I hope you know there’s softness for you in the world.
