Sunday Sayings

So I found two quotations to share today, because I saw them both and couldn't decide which better communicated my feelings. I think the message is even better when you put them together, anyways.

Can we please just take a minute to appreciate how amazing Sing Street  is? I just watched it again, and I think it is the best movie ever! It is so heartfelt, funny, weird, sad, and wonderful.

Maybe you've had an experience like that too. It's okay to feel weighed down or overwhelmed by all of it: the injustice, the opposing arguments, the lack of a clear and easy solution for all of the world's ills. It's a lot to take in. The Message Is Important, Therefore We Must Speak It In spite of our discussion exhaustion, the message of equality is so important. There is a reason that these discussions have been going on for decades – centuries, even. Of course, the discourse seems more prevalent now than ever. Perhaps it is because we have all been given a new platform through social media that simply could not be had before. Now, people who could never make their views known to the masses have a way to share their thoughts with comm...
