Deep in my heart I know I am a loner. I have tried to blend in with the world and be sociable, but the more people I meet the more disappointed I am. So, I’ve learned to enjoy myself, my family, and a few good friends.

That it’s okay to be messy and to fuck up. It’s okay to take up space while you are being messy. Feeling comfortable taking up space in an imperfect society is hard. I would encourage them to center and figure out what they want, especially when everyone is trying to tell them what they want. Take a beat. Figure out who you are, what you want—not what other people want from you.

Making suffering visible, even when we sympathize, is likely insufficient for achieving durable social justice. Sontag posits that sympathy masks our relationship to, and investment in, the suffering of others because “we feel we are not accomplices,” failing to see “how our privileges are located on the same map as their suffering.” But sympathy is not the culprit here. On the contrary, sympathy is necessary—it is the first step toward imaging what we might be losing when others suffer. And when sympathy becomes empathy, we realize that another’s suffering could have been our own, were it not for the social categories we were born into.
