The people in my autism parenting groups who are just figuring out what gutting the Department of Education is going to do to their kids, after they voted for Trump. Whew, chile. It’s a whole lotta, “They can’t do that, right?” Nah, bro. They can and they’re gonna.

he also once said “i hope this grief stays with me because it’s all of the unexpressed love that i didn’t get to tell her” and i think that’s so beautiful because really, what is grief if not love persevering
DiscussingFilm@DiscussingFilm

Andrew Garfield says people shouldn’t let the fear of grief “lock ourselves off from love, from risk & from truly living fully because it hurts to live fully.” “It hurts to love fully — it hurts to attach because of the inevitability of the loss that comes with it. But it's the only way. It's the only way to live a life of vitality and fullness and meaning, and it breaks the kind of calcified, protected, hardened versions of our heart open so we can reconnect to ourselves. So anyway, I just think grief is a really cool portal into our hearts, so then we can feel the love as well” (Source: yahoo.com/entertainment/…)

In supporting our loved ones, may we remember to read the room. Folks ain’t got the strength to manage their diagnosis AND other people’s “stuff.” If ya can’t muster up enough strength to be encouraging, then just go somewhere and pray. #breastcancerawarenessmonth #breastcancer
