Life comes back to you when you finally realize that sometimes giving your best is not enough, and it's ok. Just keep breathing and moving. Eventually, you will reach a place where it will be enough, maybe not for others but you.
I feel like it’s better to listen than talk And faster to run, though it’s wiser to walk A field to be tilled Or a cup yet unfilled For this is the way of the unsculpted rock
I needed safe schools because my parents did not have the education to teach me what my feelings about myself were. I needed safe schools because I did not have the education to know about myself. I needed safe schools because I was educated that liking people of the same *** was a sin. I needed safe schools because I was taught that I was wrong to feel the way I felt about myself. I needed safe schools because my peers do not know how to talk respectfully to a trans person. I needed safe schools because I had no refuge from the judgement of others. I needed safe schools because I didn't know that transitioning was a possibility. I needed safe schools because I felt I had to suffer in silence, believing I was the only person who felt like I did. I needed safe schools because education is key to a functioning society. I needed safe schools because it is a chance to better the future.
