𝗔𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼: Pens are mightier than swords.

𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀: Pen is no way mightier than sword. Pens do not do battle nor swords do poetry.

𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗮: Mighty is the hand that knows when to pick a sword or a pen.

𝗔𝗿𝗲𝘀: Clearly none of you have been stabbed by both.

Everyday worship: Ares

Stand up for my boundaries and do not allow anyone to violate them.

Allow myself to feel the entire spectrum of emotions, including the ‘ugly’ ones.

Carry myself with confidence and take up space that I deserve.

Fight for my comrades and let anger with the world fuel my efforts of solidarity.

Never leave a task unfinished or a friend unsupported.
