It’s okay.

It’s okay to not go back to normal right away. It’s okay to be afraid and unsure. It’s okay to want to take a break and curl up and ignore the world for a little while.

But when you come back, it’s time to take action. Find out what you can do to help protect yourself and those around. Sign petitions, donate money, support those who need it right now. Whatever you can manage. Or, like me, you can use your voice and your words and spread love and encouragement to those who need it.

We are never powerless, despite what some may say. Women are not lesser than. Anyone in the LGBTQ+ community is not lesser than. Anyone of color, or of a minority is not lesser than. We are all equal and we deserve to be treated as such. WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS.

So take the time you need to come back to yourself and be ready to fight for our rights.
