It is important to remember that books are not always about just telling a story. Books can show us how others live--whether they be Stormtroopers, drug addicts, slaves or someone that has another different story from all the ones that are different from us.
Yes, we learn about people from their stories, but it doesn’t have to stop there. In understanding one’s life and one’s struggles--we can choose to act, we can choose to push forward, we can choose to help, we can choose to learn more.
In 15 days it’s Halloween, in 16 days it’s a day of really cheap candy and chocolate, and in 21 days you have the power to vote and make the world how you think it should be. But I hope that’s not your one day of using your voice, your power and the power of listening to someone else’s story. You may not have the best or easiest life, everyone struggles but “a rising tide lifts all boats”--be that tide, raise the condition for everyone
Whether your focus is guns, the environment, big banks, the wall.
You have the right to vote, VOTE!
You have the ability to vote, VOTE!
You have the most important thing needed to change and have the future you want, you have the power that comes from your vote, VOTE!
and if for some reason you don’t have an opinion, talk to your friends, talk to those who cannot vote, don’t take this for granted
