We agree that there is something that happens inside of a person, a people, a community when you think you will not live, that the people around you will not live. We talk about how you develop an attitude, one that dismisses hope, that discards dreams.
We deserve, we say, what so many others take for granted […] We deserve love. Thick, full-bodied and healthy. Love.
