“I have known the joy and pain of friendship. I have served and been served. I have made some good enemies for which I am not a bit sorry. I have loved unselfishly, and I have fondled hatred with the red-hot tongs of Hell. That’s living.”

— Zora Neale Hurston

terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.

i simply cannot vibe with any media that comes out with the message “to hurt each other is mankind’s base nature” because it really literally is not. you just think that because your perception of reality has been poisoned by the cruelty and desperation forced upon us by an capitalist society run by people who REJECT their human nature, not those who embrace it. 

the idea that man itself is a cruel hateful animal is simply wrong and serves nobody except people who are so skeptical of everything they get a twisted sense of satisfaction at thinking that the human heart is evil and seeing things that “prove” them right. the same kind of people who think shit like the stanford prison experiment is a snapshot of how any human being would act in that situation when it factually is not. evil is created situationally, nobody is born evil like it doesn’t work like that. to look at examples of heinousness in people and say “this is what man truly is” is such a disgustingly bleak outlook on life.

when you tell my friends you love them, when you give money to someone struggling, when you go out of your way to help a stranger, when you give back to your community, THOSE are the things that make you human. kindness, love, compassion, goodwill towards others, that’s what humanity is for, not hatred and destruction. it helps nobody to think otherwise

Rest In Peace, you beautiful soul. I’m so sorry we failed you. You will always be remembered. I promise.

“We held hands. I was wondering what it would be like to have a home of your own where you could come and go, where people would be welcome, where you would never be frightened again.”
