    On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden


    “No. No way. You don’t get to decide that. You don’t get to decide what’s important for us. You can choose for yourself, but no one else. When you chose not to respect us, we chose not to respect you. […] Have you ever even considered that something that’s trivial to you could mean … so much more to someone else? You don’t get to take the easy road out and just respect the parts of people you recognize. And, pro-tip: If you find yourself in a similar situation in the future where you’re surrounded by people you don’t understand, try listening. It’ll work a lot better for you than talking.”
