if you are a young thing i have one piece of advice for you:
being enthusiastic and happy about things you love is more important than being apathetic and snide. you will go so much farther in life spending energy on and talking about something you love than wasting energy on only complaining about or making fun of something you don’t.
don’t focus on mocking others for being genuinely excited about something. focus on the things and people you love.
I feel like I don’t have the right to be emotional about this anniversary. Even though I’ve always been a fan, I didn’t have such a visceral attachment before this summer. And anyway, this isn’t about me. It’s about Greg’s family. 💜

I know.
You're angry. You should be. You're scared. You should be.
This is awful. It's horrifying. It's deeply depressing. Rage. Scream. Mourn the tragedy we know is coming.
But remember this: what we are about to experience is the world our grandmothers and great grandmothers lived in. This is what they fought against.
Remember that they won. Even if the victory was temporary, they still won.
We can win, too. Prepare yourself. Finish your mourning, and get back to the fight. Yes, it's awful that we have to have this same fight. It's frustrating. It's heartbreaking. But now is not the time to surrender to despair.
Now the work begins.
