SeaHeart

We need you to be bold. Brave. Dauntless. Fearless. Hopeful. Valiant. Good. Goodhearted. Patient. Kind. Compassionate with yourself and others. Strong. Courageous. Humble.

We need you to tell the truth so loudly that the earth hums. We need you to give a hand because no one else is. We need you to open up because everyone else is closed. We need you to sing louder, hope longer, breathe deeper, be stiller than anyone else, because we need you to be there, be transparent and strong and mutable and hope filled because we need you to move and shake the world.

We need you to create, because only you can create the book/play/sculpture/casserole/glued-together-thing/orgasm/poem/story that you're creating. We need it in the world, and we need you to put it there. We need you to create, because others tear down. We need you to have the courage to create, we need you to find the strength to create, we need you to create, because we need you to move and change the world.

We need you to be kinder, to be non-negotiable, to be resplendent in your boundaries and resilient in your openess. We need you to shout out against injustice, and we need you to act more like love and less like tolerance, and we need you to spread across the world that we're all equal and beautiful and that, together, we can move and rebuild the world.

We need you to know your inherent worth, to acknowledge that--even in your brokeness--your strength shines through, that hearts can be rebuilt, that the saddest stories build better ones, that you are not voiceless and worthless and nothing, that you are--in fact--capable of shaping and changing the world.

We need you to tell the stories that are not told. We need you to find the strength to create when the world asks you to destroy. We need you to dance faster, dream higher, hope deeper, love fiercer, because you are the only person who can create/do/be the thing/act/person you need to, and we need you and only you can find the strength and courage and passion and fire to shape and change the world.

We need you, creators, singers, writers, poets, dancers, world-makers, storytellers, beautiful, bright creatures, to change the world because no one else will.

We need you to create. To love. To sing.

We need you.

Please.
