But for this vote, i detached. I did. Dont want it to be such a big blow. I avoid and put up defenses. It matters so much, that its internalized. And for all the Dreamers. No se ni que decir- dont know what to say, how to react- ni como reaccionar. So much hope that we built up, we encouraged. Asi es la lucha. That's how it is.
But in a few years, decades, we'll get what we want. Strong people always get what they want because they are persistent and continue to build. You cannot stop a tidal wave, you cannot hold back what is destined to happen. You can put up walls and fortify them with cement and metal, but year after year year, moment by moment, nature will chip and wear it away. You cannot hold back a people in search for justice and what is right.
You cannot hold back love.
Love doesnt need weapons or violence or barriers. It engulfs and absorbs everything, it is the great equalizer. The pen and actions- true actions from a place of understanding and love- are what will make this world a better place.
They neutralize, sterilize, stigmatize because they do not love.
And its hard being a lover in this world, it's been hard in every day and age. Lovers are killed, disappeared, criminalized, delegitimized and have been all throughout time. But the true sets us free. And in love, there is truth and sacrifice.
Lovers, Dreamers- we will prevail! If not today, tomorrow, in a decade, a century. Every action we take in the name of love and what's right is a glimpse into and a step closer to that day. Let's keep on dreaming, loving, and moving forward always!
