"The Shift is coming. The Shift has to be coming. Because if you keep on living like this, you'll die."



This quote is from one of my very favorite books - Ned Vizzini’s
“It’s Kind of a Funny Story”.
This quote has been running through my mind all day long. I’ve had a lot weighing on my mind. Ideas and thoughts about all the various things I know people struggle with. The things I struggle with. All the issues that we have in our world right now,  on the individual level.
There’s just…too much. The struggles we face - eating disorders, bullying, mental illness, self-injury, suicide, sexuality, everything. And it’s getting ridiculous. How humans are treating other humans. It’s disgusting, really. And I’ve been thinking a lot about how I can help or how I can help others see how they can help.
Seriously, we need a revolution or something. We need The Shift. We need a change. We can’t keep living like this. We can’t continue playing God and judging others and hurting others.
“The Shift is coming. The Shift has to be coming. Because if you keep on living like this, you’ll die.”
