A change is gonna come. If we bring it, that is.

 Dear future hubster,
this is a friendly reminder that things are not going to magically get better overnight. 
Those who were hungry yesterday will probably be hungry tomorrow. Those who were beaten last week will probably be at the risk of being beaten next week. The girls who didn't get to go to school, were forced to marry young, have children their bodies and minds weren't ready to have are not going to feel any better tomorrow, next week, next month. Governments will not suddenly give back rights they've taken away this year. Hatred is not going to turn to love.
For love, grace, salvation don't just appear. Neither do solutions. They take a lot of work. Maybe a little more so in difficult (unprecedented, extraordinary, trying, challenging) times, but making the world a little less of a crappy place has never been an easy task. 
The only thing that can (somewhat) change overnight is how much of that hard work we're willing to do. You know, good old Gandalf said, "all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us". That's a decision we take every day, so it's a decision we can take tonight.
You can choose to be the one who brings the light. The change. The colours. 
Tell your friends.
