A single pale rose
#i watched my silly little stories about fighting for whats right even if demands sacrifice#and i assumed all those other people who watched these silly little stories had watched these stories with a strong sense that in similar#- circumstances they would act the same way as their beloved characters. I like to think that many of them would.#at the moment I feel a little alone. People around me don't know who I have met. Like the people who I dreamt with and played with#- those I watched TV with and read books with and watched movies with and god knows what other forms of media we ate up#they don't know how lovely YOU are.#we grew up inside countries that spread hatred. we were taught that there wasn't much we could do about it.#what an amazing lie that was.#imperialism and racism and capital and authoriterianism and sexism and homophobia and transphobia and all these things#all these things can be faught. by those of us who are able to.#search for local networks where you live. something will pop up. find something that sounds like your values.#dont give up your soul ever#but find something that is in line with what you believe and fight for it even when it gets hard#like all those characters you truly admire#because you admired them for a reason - i like to think.#my life is still fairytales and pretty pictures and learning about everything from dinosaurs to electrons#always will be#but there is a whole world out there with people who need that I care about something in addition to all that.#and for that I feel more human than I ever have.#whatever cause you choose to stand by - at least you stand by something. you and your infinite heart and infinite mind -#- crammed inside a warm soft animal.
