“I want to be fearless. I want my children to take holy risks and to know the feeling of eternal invincibility, to walk with their chins held high into dominions of darkness and challenge the status quo because they are supernaturally secure in knowing that their souls are untouchable.

I give you my blessing to dissent with all the fury you possess.⁣

⁣There are some things worth fighting for. ⁣

⁣So dig your beautiful heels in. ⁣
