“Something that gives me hope is people and stories that are bold enough to tell something else. You can be a person who goes through hardship, but you are not more of a person having gone through that hardship. You are who you are with or without that. You don’t need to earn your freedom. We shouldn’t have to fight for happiness. That is something that brings me hope, being able to leave that narrative behind more and more as we go and being able to tell other stories and be a part of shifting that narrative.” @lachrwatson speaking on what in the world makes them feel hopeful.
