times aren't changing


I want young girls to be able to look in the mirror and not want to cry because someone made them believe they were "too curvy" for their liking.

I want same sex couples to be able to hold hands around town without worrying about people shaming them for their happiness.

I want women to know that their rape wasn't their fault because they got alittle too drunk or because their short dress was asking for it.

I want teenagers to be able to ask for help and treatment for eating disorders and self harm without it being labeled as a cry for attention.

I want people to be able to have whatever type of sex life they want without having to worry about if someone believes them to be a "whore" or a "prude".

I want happiness within oneself to be common in our society again and I need change.
