I have to admit... this question makes me feel guilty. I used to be much more of an activist than I am currently. I worked hard to promote and attend protests, I volunteered at many different places constantly, I organized events to help others - the only thing I've done recently to stand up for what I believe in is canvass and post recovery posts on my instagram.
Becoming older my depression has worsened and it's become harder and harder to get myself out and about. I was so passionate in high school, and I still am - I simply don't have the energy I did before to make myself do something about it.
But currently, to stand up for what I believe in, I work to get good democratic candidates on the upcoming ballots. Every day I inform others about the candidates I'm working for and getting signatures for the to be able to run.
Along with that I like to try speaking out about mental illnesses, informing people of the truths behind them, and also about recovery.
I feel bad that I don't do what I used to. It eats away at me sometimes, and I want to do more. But sometimes I believe my posts make more of a difference than anything else.
This has become more of a ramble than a blog, sorry guys!
I'll try taking more time to coherently write for my next posts.
Love and kisses!! <3
