Finally, Progress Comes From Being Willing To Walk A Mile In Someone Else's Shoes. We Need To Ask Ourselves,
Finally, progress comes from being willing to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. We need to ask ourselves, 'How would it feel if it were a crime to love the person I love? How would it feel to be discriminated against for something about myself that I cannot change?' This challenge applies to all of us as we reflect upon deeply held beliefs, as we work to embrace tolerance and respect for the dignity of all persons, and as we engage humbly with those with whom we disagree in the hope of creating greater understanding.

who wants to see the awful thing i just made
I’m so tired.
This can be addressed. Something can be done. Just because you don’t see the future right now doesn’t mean you never will or that the future doesn’t exist for you. The very fact that you recognize that there’s something to see but you’re just not able to see it right now might mean that you were able to see it once before. It might not be the same future that you envisioned when you were younger, but it still belongs to you.
The future is yours. It won’t be perfect and it won’t be easy, but it has never left you. Never let it.
“My problem is, I don’t see a future for myself, and when you see no future it becomes easier to see the end.”
- It becomes closer everyday.
