If you see a problem in the world and you have a burning desire to fix it, do it. Don’t let anyone tell you that you aren’t enough. With the right amount of hard work and dedication you can be the driving force behind change. Justice doesn’t have to be a big billboard event to be effective; justice can be something small, even if it’s between just us, it’s still justice. We live in a world where we need all the love and justice we can get.
