Your words matter.

I’ll say it again:

Your words matter.

Have you ever read a story that spoke to you louder than any voice you’ve ever heard? Have you ever read a story that changed you? That saved you?

In times like this, I know it’s hard, but you have to keep sharing your stories. Write. Write happy endings, and write ones that are sad. Write of love, of hate, of overcoming adversity, and of falling to the evils of the world. Write something funny, and laugh at the horror out there until it has no strength; write something angry, and fight the horror tooth and nail until your knuckles are split and bloody, screaming until your throat is raw. Write of things that don’t exist, and write of things that do. Hell, write your two favorite characters from a tv show boinking, it doesn’t matter! Now, more than ever, words have power. Now, more than ever, the bastards out there will tell you that they don’t.

A single sentence can make a difference.

A single story can change the world.

Words are what turn the wheel of change. You just have to build it first, and give the damn thing a push.

The bastards don’t get to win.

We don’t let them.
