Kindness and acceptance of other people's journeys and stories is the rent we pay to live in this beautiful world. Wear an armor that is not forged of iron, for iron is human and destructible; wear an armor forged from your own story of truth and hope. Spread your love, joy, and truth and watch it illuminate the world with wildfire. Do not go quietly into the evening, my dear sisters. Take back your spaces and the nights that threaten destruction.Let not the bastards of this world drown you.

Men not being allowed to be emotional & rampant homophobia are the reasons men commit suicide 3.5x more than women… most men are given no outlet to feel feelings. To the point that they kill themselves.
