I don’t need much. I want eat sweets without getting fat, I want to feel wanted and I want equal rights. Is it much to ask?

It is what it is. Not like I could make a difference when I wasn't even smart enough for college.

Making a difference is a lot more about caring and showing up than being "smart" or going to college. Though, I do understand how exhausting and intimidating it can all be.

What difference does "caring" make? So something bothers me. It won't change just because I care about it. People change things because they have political power, or they can develop or implement something to change it, not by just caring.

Not every improvement has to be large scale, especially at the start.

You're more likely to act if you care. Are you upset that people go hungry in your city/ state? Volunteer at a food bank. Do you care about a political topic? Protest, vote, help sign petitions for state bills, go to local meetings, etc.

When you care, you can help other people care. It's not an all-or-nothing situation. Do what you can, and you'll get better at helping.
