I wish I didn’t think about them. I wish the past stayed in the past, but they can’t.
My past is the present and future.
The stories I experienced all have a purpose. A purpose to help. A purpose to raise awareness. A purpose to unite.
I learned to open up the moment I noticed the impact. Those I spoke to related to my feelings; others wanted to know more.
People wanted to hear my stories, so they could learn. They would sit and listen to someone so open, the feelings I shared were felt.
Feelings are relatable, even when you haven’t experienced them.
We have the opportunity to educate one another. We have the opportunity to learn.
Growth happens when there’s a gap. My gap is my fundraising. My fundraising goals are a collection of my past memories. Memories that’ll create change.
Change in the mind.
Change in the body.
The only non-change is the heart.
