It’s not like that everywhere. You’re being gaslit. you’re being abused. It’s dangerous. They playing with peoples lives, marginalized ppls lives. There doesn’t have to be shootings everyday. There doesn’t have to be houseless ppl. There doesn’t have to be $17,000 medical bills.
You deserve to feel safe in the areas you are. This shit isn’t a fucking privilege. It’s a human right. It doesn’t have to be this way. You didn’t choose to be here but it is a daily choice that these things are made to be a privilege. And that should enrage everyone.
I think everyone needs to be reminded of what they deserve. You deserve to LIVE. You deserve to do more than survive. You deserve to have healthy community. You deserve to have rest. You deserve to experience joy. You deserve to have access to clean water and healthcare.
Pick yourself up. Get it together. Not bcos others have it worse than you. Not bcos you owe it to anyone to put on a smile. But bcos you are stronger than you imagine and even if you think otherwise, you matter to so many people. But first of all, you need to matter to urself.
Reclaim your timeline and reclaim your destiny. Your timeline is YOURS. Constructed and built for you to live your destiny, on your time, by your rules and what’s best for you. There’s no late or behind if your focus is on the importance of your own timeline.
