Kindness and joy are the most powerful acts of rebellion at our disposal. Those and hope are what they are trying to steal because people who have no hope or joy don't fight.
Hope is only worth the effort we put into fighting back.
How hard are you willing to fight, if your opponent wants to kill you?
Are you willing to kill them?
Because they will NEVER change their minds.
I'm sorry, I'm not talking about you personally, I should have been clearer
I just... have all these dark thoughts and I don't have anywhere to express them anymore. None of my friends will let me.
I'm sorry, I shouldn't be doing this to you.
a few seconds. Definitely feel what you feel, acknowledge it.
But give yourself a break. This stress will affect you mentally AND physically. They want you to feel bad, and no one deserves that.
What I'm trying to say is, hope isn't going to do us much good if they are bound and determined to murder us.
And I don't mean figuratively. I mean literally. They want us to die. They will kill us all and urinate on the shallow ditch they toss our bodies in.
Ok, I hear you.
I don’t think we should live without hope. And even if that’s the end, I don’t want my life to be miserable every second until then.
I understand not everyone sees things my way, but I do hope you don’t completely down. You deserve good moments, we all do.
I'm bisexual, gender-fluid, and half Puerto-Rican.
I spent my entire life listening to my white mother and German stepfather saying people like me deserve to die.
And now I have to listen to them say "I told you so" for the rest of their lives.
I've lost hope.
My stepdad is one of those queerphobic white-supremacists who voted for Trump.
He always told me "hope in one hand, shit in the other, see which hand gets full faster."
I never understood what he meant until he said "nuke all the ni--ers and fa--ots. They all deserve to die."
People will still be who they are no matter who comes into power.
People will continue to try to live their truth.
What will change against it's truth is society
Hope is what saved my ass when I was under a certain dictatorship that had issues with me being bisexual and proceeded to threaten me into silence for a good 8 years of my life.
Thanks for the self care words to it’s been so hard for me even with some results that show. I try so hard to be positive. I even take medication now for getting me out of my depression but it gets hard spikes i know.
“I’m not going to offer you… facts about why things aren’t as bad as they seem. I’m not going to give you a list of reasons to be hopeful - hope is not a reasonable thing… hope is… the will to persist... (It’s) not a feeling; it’s a decision to engage”
Hope is what made me as a person grow out of my family's beliefs. That we can all have our happy lives. That the thought of the happiness we find here is all we have and built upon our strides to make it better.
Forget an eternity.This place is real now, ours to live. It's beautiful what we can do

I’m sorry you can’t vent to friends. That hurts too.
I have issues and I fall into thinking spirals and circular thinking also. 🫂

Hope was all I had.
