RISE

“The things that made us different were the things that made us awesome.”

Introducing my theme to all of you is probably going to take some time. Actually, I probably will never sit here and write down exactly what the general idea behind this is. It is something the viewer, reader, blogger is going to have to come into. But by the quoted segment of the clip I think the direction in which this blog is going will be understood a little more with each post.

With this video in particular, it’s not only reaching out to the LGBT community but to any teen who feels like they’re completely alone in the world. To those of you coming across this who are in that moment, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There is someone who cares about you, about people like you, about the ones who feel like they don’t want to take part in life anymore. There are too many of us who feel dejected, beaten down by life everyday. And at the ends of those days, not all of us have someone there to tell them that it is going to get better for them. There are people everywhere like Tim McIlrath trying to lift you up, so don’t give in.
