We are losing so many innocent lives because of gun violence. This is so far from okay. Sure, we can all say these people are in our thoughts and prayers, and that’s great, but we also need to act. Find out which senators are allowing this to happen and tell them you’re not okay with this. Even if you’re not from the US, you can tweet or email them, as I have done. And you can spread the word. Please share this around and act on it.

Watch the video. Share it. Act.

If you’ve ever doubted yourself, walk deep into any forest. Notice how the trees still stand even though they are given no recognition. Walk along any stream. The water still flows, though no one stops to praise it. Watch the stars late at night; they shine without acknowledgment. Humans are just the same. We are made out of the same elements as these beautiful wonders. Always remember your beauty and self worth.

“I think Sarah has a real deep need for freedom, and I think that extends to her parenting as well. You know, she’s deeply attached to Kira, loves her beyond all words, but she also loves her freedom and there’s like a duality there that is a constant conflict for her. I also think there’s something interesting about Sarah. The way people see Sarah as a mother, is very interesting to me, because a lot of people will say she’s a bad mom, and there’s a real obsession with her being a “bad mom”. And I just don’t understand how you define that. There’s such a strong need to name her as a bad mother. I don’t think she is that. I think she is conflicted and I think we all have doubt, conflict in our lives. I think there’s a real thing that women have to behave a certain way or be fully so devoted to their children, they have no identity of their own, in order to be like a “good mom”. — Tatiana Maslany

Grace Helbig is such a beautiful person and it hurts to know she’s having a rough time. While I know it’s okay to have bad days I still wish I could make things easier for her.
