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.
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.
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.
