I'm complicit! If I had an ounce of courage I'd do something that matters, not fucking post. I'm crushed by my guilt. Why aren't you?

When our time comes, no one will be left to speak out for you.

Because letting my guilt 'crush' me doesn't help anyone. I let it motivate me to vote, donate, and volunteer- things that actually make a small but tangible difference in the world. The guilt means you're human, letting it crush you makes you useless.
