“It would have been more comfortable to remain silent.” -Anita Hill, October 1991 For the many of you who do not discuss politics out loud, whether in public, social media, or outside your comfort zone, you can no longer remain silent. If you go on social media to share photos of your life and block or hide or scroll by…
Tomorrow is election day. And I’m tired. Deeply tired. Tired of arguing, tired of fighting. Tired of screaming about things I shouldn’t have to scream about. I just want to lie down. For a moment, for any amount of time just to catch my breath.
You stand for what you believe in, regardless if you will succeed. You stand for those who can’t. You stand for those who stood before you and are gone, tired, or need your help.
