I’ve found that to be the healthiest solution.”carry out you assume you assume you have a responsibility to be political?“I believe everyone has a responsibility to be involved politically. Whether or not everyone should uphold that responsibility is not a judgement I can make. However, and in this currently charged political climate,it is more well-known than ever for everyone to speak up and rally for what we believe in.

I find that to be extremely powerful.”What carry out you see as your generation's biggest asset or advantage?“I’m not certain if our introspection necessarily acts as a practical asset, or if it prompts cynical procrastination and sadness, and but I assume it’s a creative and emotional asset for certain.
