It is NOT over!

Remind yourself every day: when you wake up, when you brush your teeth, when you drive to work, when you take a shower, when you’re out with friends: it is not over, we have not signed a death sentence.

As long as there is blood in your veins and breath in your body: stay resilient, stay strong, keep hope alive, build community, breathe (goddammit, BREATHE!), keep up the fight, travel, create art, read- do whatever you have to do to keep yourself alive. The people will ALWAYS have the power, no matter how hard anyone tries to convince us otherwise.

I won’t lie, it’s scary to see what’s going on, but “they” want us to be fearful, silent, and back down. Refuse to be silent, refuse to live in fear. You are not alone, where ever you are. Do not back down, do not let anyone tell you to be silenced. The fight is not over, so STOP CONVINCING YOURSELVES IT IS!

The moment we decide to “just die” is when we lose. It’s hard to choose life, especially in this political turbulence that is affecting the world all over. Do not play into their hands, and do not give up on living. Our fates have not been carved into stone. Live, breathe, and keep on.
