My dedication to advocacy goes far beyond casting a vote, it’s woven into my daily life, guiding every decision, conversation, and action. I know that in today’s polarized climate, standing firm in our beliefs can create confusion, hurt, or even alienation for those who see the world differently. These differences can feel deeply personal and isolating, as if our values and identities are at odds. For me, though, this is more than a political divide, it’s a personal matter, especially when policies impact my most intimate experiences, like the insurmountable challenges we are facing while trying to expand our family. Moments like these make it clear how much our choices can affect real lives and struggles. I hope my actions can help bridge these divides, showing that advocacy isn’t just about beliefs; it’s about respecting the lived realities of others. True justice, as I see it, means working toward a world where everyone feels seen, valued, and safe, regardless of their beliefs. This commitment calls me to engage with empathy, not to isolate or dismiss others, but to create a world that honors our humanity. Yet, I cannot deny the deep hurt I feel from the decisions that have been made, knowing some people I once trusted are complacent in this, causing a lasting impact on my life and the lives of others facing similar struggles. Sending so much love to all who need it today, because I sure do. ♥️
