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.

There was a democratic flip in a historically republican city a year or two ago because about 8 people cared enough to show up and vote. It was a small thing that took them like half an hour and it completely flipped the political landscape in their area.
