We have men and women being killed in other countries as they try to defend our freedoms and try to give other nations the same freedoms. We have people being shot and stabbed as complete strangers try to rob them. We have men and women being raped every few seconds. We have children, teens, young adults and adults taking their lives because of bullying and discrimination. We have young women having babies and leaving them in unsafe places because they are not ready to be mothers. We have people being persecuted because of their gender and sexual orientation. We have people killing each other because of the color of their skin. We have discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation. We as a nation are completely falling apart. I want to take a moment to tell you to be YOU. You are beautiful and handsome. You are intelligent. You are not the degrading comments thrown your way, you are more than that. You have so much to offer the world, do not let people dull your light. Love who you want to love, wear what you want to wear. Identify how you want to identify. Be alive and let no one tell you otherwise. IF ANY OF YOU EVER NEED HELP OR NEED TO TALK, I AM HERE. I WILL LISTEN AND DO MY BEST TO HELP. My Twitter UN is HeartOfShelton. Our world is ugly and getting uglier by the day, but we can change that. We can make a difference. We can make MLK's dream a reality. If everyone pays a stranger a compliment and that stranger pays a stranger a compliment and so fourth, it really could start and revolutionary change. Help me? Reblog and RT this. Let's pay this forward and start the change!
