I am an unapologetic marriage abolitionist, which means that I believe that the financial and legalized structural advantages currently attached to the institution of marriage in this country should not be linked to the practice of marriage as such, but should be available to all people who want to collaborate on home, family, support and love on their own terms.
Just finished my last final exam
Sam- “It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it’ll shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand… I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding onto something.
Frodo- “What are we holding onto Sam?”
Sam- “That there’s some good in this world Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.”
