stand by the pillars on the subway platform so you can hide behind them when a train comes and no one can possibly push you onto the tracks.

*this has been my uniquely new york thoughts*

Tired
by Langston Hughes

I am so tired of waiting, 
Aren’t you, 
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two β€”
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

"Courage is an inner resolution to go forward in spite of obstacles and frightening situations; cowardice is a submissive surrender to circumstance. Courage breeds creative self-affirmation; cowardice produces destructive self-abnegation. Courage faces fear and thereby masters it; cowardice represses fear and is thereby mastered by it. Courageous men never lose the zest for living even though their life situation is zestless; cowardly men, overwhelmed by the uncertainties of life, lose the will to live. We must constantly build dikes of courage to hold back the flood of fear."

Preachings, by Martin Luther King Jr.

Were Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. alive to see today’s inauguration, I believe he would say something along these lines.
