It takes a lot of courage to stand out from the norm and be different. I think that's why so many people that are born different kill themselves. It's exhausting to constantly have courage and be strong when society is beating you down and acting like you shouldn't exist.

Here's what's going on in America. See, the homecoming court is running everything. All the cool and popular kids don't like anyone that's different than what's cool and popular by definitions set by the homecoming court. Also, they have the meatheads from the football team to enforce things.

Like I get why someone would say “Hey the guy had kids, think about them when you’re celebrating the man’s death” but I gotta say if my dad died and tons of strangers THRILLED about it I think I’d be a little curious as to why and if I already knew why maybe I wouldn’t think my dad was so great?

"Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one." - Marcus Aurelius
