i will choose little rebellions… like the ache turned into empathy. my rage channeled into intention. my inspired heart will create beauty in rebellion… we need art and words and songs… someone, somewhere is barely hanging on, and something beautiful will be their lighthouse. my passionate heart will love more in rebellion… the way i feel about who and what i love will be even more and more and more… there is going to be passion and love here, no matter what. and my hope is going to be fierce, even if in spite of so much. darkness depends on us to stop feeling beautiful things and to stop believing in a better way… and i will make it my rebellion not to.

when the world gets really dark and heavy, it may seem like your dreams don’t matter as much… but maybe it’s when they matter even more. because anyone trying to hold on to something good and beautiful within is also holding space for the light while the world tries to find it again.

and maybe the times when i feel so powerless about what’s around me… are just times i’m being asked to become more passionate about what i hold inside of me
