I feel as if I'm not doing enough.
As if I should finally speak up, but instead I'm hiding in a dark box.
Maybe because I'm not supported enough?
My parents are uneasy about my sudden overpassion for making the world a better place and even some of my friends are. The only one who supports me whole-heartedly is my english teacher.
I can't help but think though.
Even if I speak up, I'll be met with criticism, which I'm bad at taking.
Am I really willing to risk my mental health for that?
Of course I know the answer.
Yes.
Absolutely.
Going down this path, I know that I will receive hate. Even from my family.
I'm willing to take that chance.
Because nothing will change if no one speaks up.
