Favorite Quote:
Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. — Harriet Tubman


     why people refuse to open their mind
     why children are beaten, bruised, buried
     why a number is valued more than mental stability
But most of all I do not understand
     why misogyny is in
     because equality is not
What I understand most are people
     who refuse to believe evil consumes this world,
     despite constantly refreshing the browser
     and seeing WAR on the front page
