In the quiet, dark hours of this morning I had some thoughts that I feel compelled to share

I want people to speak their truth, even if I don’t resonate with it

I want people to have their own opinions, even if I disagree with them

I want to live in a world with freedom of speech and freedom of religion and freedom of choice; my body my choice has to go further than consent and abortion

I love seeing peaceful protests because it means that people are sticking up for what they believe in, speaking their truth, and sharing their opinion

And I may disagree with them, and that’s fine

And you may disagree with me, and thats fine too

But I encourage you to challenge yourself, your beliefs, and your opinions. Do your own research, make your own choices (even if they’re unpopular with the current), and grow as an individual. As we grow and evolve, we help the world do the same

And I think this goes without saying, but obviously if your choices, opinions, and beliefs are hateful or violent against others you need to seriously look into that
