    Grief…doesn’t motivate you. In movies, guys like me, people who have had loved ones killed through prejudices and big evil organizations 🐘 do something about it. Whether that’s activism or something more illegal. But I was way more aggressive about my political views before my girlfriend died. Now it’s like…I can’t muster up the ability to give enough of a shit to do more than vote.

      Grief affects people differently. I’m not going to go to into what happened to me, but it definitely motivated me and I’ve been a camp counselor (week long camp counselor, not a licensed or practiced one). I’ve seen a mix of (mostly) kids but still some adults during my volunteering. Rule one is still “you don’t know how they’re going to take it”.
