Below's The Facebook Status We All Need Right Now: Love. Must. Win.
This is not the moment to quit. This is not the time to go dark. Today my Facebook feed is swamped with black squares for account photos as well as two-word standing updates: I'm afraid. I'm embarrassed. I'm relocating. Please. Stop. We've all read this tale a million times before, pals. This is the point in the tale when the protagonist battles on, FINDS THE WAY despite utter sadness. Perseveres. Defeats evil. I'm a white stay-at-home mother. I'm appropriate where he desires me to be already. My daily life isn't going to alter considerably. However I'll be damned if I'm mosting likely to wait while he puts my friends as well as neighbors, which I love so passionately, where he desires them to be, also.(love status) My benefit includes a duty. That does not alter with this election. But I'm also going to defend my fellow Americans in country Florida and also Arkansas. I'm going to fight for those that have actually lost all hope of locating jobs, that are afraid the American Dream is being ripped from their hands. (love status) Those that are so overwrought with sensations of disappointment, isolation, as well as disenfranchisement. I hear you, too. I choose not to think that all those votes were genuinely cast in hatred of the compatriots that do not look like you do. I have to believe you're harming, too. I have to rely on love. This is not the moment to give up. This is not the time to go dark. This is not the time to turn out your light. This is the moment to beam. Radiate brighter. I'm mosting likely to beam so bright that every damn dark corner of bigotry, hate, as well as worry in the country is brightened. I'm mosting likely to shine hope as well as toughness. I'm going to teach my feminist sons that legislations aren't always simply which our privilege comes with the obligation to eliminate for those that others may regard "less than." I'm going to beam love.(love status) Below's the standing upgrade we require: Love has to win. Beam on.
