haven.

everyone wants to say how bad the media is. the media can be bad, anything CAN be bad. anything can be manipulated or abused. but media can save lives, it can help people learn. i grew up very sheltered and with parents who had strong opinions, and in a school with one viewpoint. if i didn’t have media to access things on my own i would have missed out on so much. i remember hearing so many artists for the very first time and falling in love. i remember reading people’s stories and realizing for the first time that people had other experiences than me, and that those experiences matter. i am so grateful for media, and social media, for allowing me access to so much more of the world and for allowing me to expand and grow as a human.
