A friend of my shared a story today about a Transgender Kid who left a suicide note on Tumblr asking for the world to change (read it here). Stories like this trash my spirit. I only hope that we are moving forward in some ways... What we need more than anything is a cultural revolution that reconnects us to compassion and hope and breaks the chains cynicism, nihilism, and isolationism have wrapped around our necks. Only when we learn to stand up will things change.
