“I've had frank conversations with theaters who say, 'We love your play, but we've already done a play by another black person this year,' or 'I don't think the kind of people you write about are the ones our audience wants to see'...

“Yes, God loves you this very day and always. He is not waiting to love you until you have overcome your weaknesses and bad habits. He loves you today with a full understanding of your struggles. He is aware that you reach up to Him in heartfelt and hopeful prayer. He knows of the times you have held onto the fading light and believed-even in the midst of growing darkness. He knows of your sufferings. He knows of your remorse for the times you have fallen short or failed. And still He loves you.” KnowsStillsLightTodaySufferingWaitingUnderstandingPrayerDarknessStruggleGrowingLove YouHabitWeaknessOvercomingGod LoveFallenHopefulMidstRemorseHeartfeltBad HabitsFadingGod Loves YouFading Light Author:Dieter F.

I think that it's probably a greater struggle for trans folk, because we struggle more with our bodies.” PeopleThinkingMeanImportantPainPastDesirePleasureStruggleLove YouFeminine Author:Janet Mock

“I looked him in the eye, "I will always love you." Then plunged the stake into his chest. It wasn't as precise a blow as I would have liked, not with the skilled way he was dodging. I struggled to get the stake in deep enough to his heart, unsure if I could do it from this angle. Then, his struggles stopped. His eyes stared at me, stunned, and his lips parted, almost into a smile, albeit a grisly and pained one. "That's what I was supposed to say..." he gasped out.” IfsWayHeartEnoughEyeStruggleLove YouLipsBlowHis EyesIf I CouldChestsStakesPreciseAngleUnsureStunnedAlways Love YouWill Always Love YouI Will Always Love You Author:Richelle Mead
