You are not alone.

One of my best friends recently posted something amazing. That and the series of events that went on these past few days inspired me to write this.
Enjoy.

Letter to the wise. To the ones under pressure. To the ones who want to give up sometimes. You are the ones I love:

There is definitely so much hatred and ignorance still in the world. Sure, we may have "equal rights". Yeah, right. There is still sexism, racism, homophobia, and all different forms of prejudice in the world. It is true that the smartest people are the ones most depressed. In fact, I was feeling crappy because of the fact that I know and am fully aware and constantly thinking about all of this. Being more in touch with your emotions and more conscious of the world than others is both a blessing and a curse. And this is aimed directly at all of you out there who ever feel down: we smart people can't let our frustration get the best of us, because we're here for a reason, and if there were less of us then the world would not go on and be able to move forward. There would be no women voting and no integration. Gay marriage laws would not be available at all, and neither would protection of the inappropriately labeled "handicapped". Don't ever forget: there are people who go through the same things we do. There are people like us that have made these changes in society because they go through these tough times, and rise up above the rest and use those memories to fuel them and keep them going.

We must keep working. Because we are the example for future generations and we are the great ones. Being wise is not a burden. It is a gift which only the best are given to use, and it is up to us to decide when we're ready to ignite the fire that is always in us and spread the flames. (For some reason this sounds like a Catching Fire reference >.< I love it.)

Women still get paid less than men do.
Gays are still victims of homophobic crimes.
There is still a racist belt in America.
Violence is prevalent.
Promiscuity is encouraged.
It may not seem like it, but the world has hope: US.

We are here. We NEVER stand alone.

I love you all. Keep being the wise, sexy, and overall epic beings you are.

"And we will never be alone again, 'cause it doesn't happen every day... kinda counted on you being a friend. Can I give it up or give it away? Now I thought about what I wanna say, but I never really know where to go so I chained myself to a friend, 'cause I know it unlocks like a door."
