Do ballet and play football. Sing and dance. Laugh and cry.

We can live nuanced, complicated, exciting lives with no reason for limitation.

Stop the bullsh*t. Stop drawing lines in the sand like previous generations [have done].

Do ballet and play football. Sing and dance. Laugh and cry.

My grandmother taught me two very important lessons before she passed: hold the door for everyone and always say "thank you." That means to treat everyone the same, no matter if it is the President or a homeless mother begging for food. And never forget to thank those who have helped you, whether it is the person serving you food at a restaurant or your third-grade teacher who taught you the multiplication tables.

I believe that it is my job to fight for the rights of others to have the same rights that I take for granted. As a white, American male, I have had it quite good. I recognize that and fight every day for everyone to have the same opportunities that I have had.

I don't focus on the results. Put my head down, put my hoodie up, and do the work.
