Never Again.
Never again will I live with peace in the entirety of my heart
Never again will I walk around in a world devoid of people I know who believe that rape is a justified form of resistance
Never again will I be able to meet someone new without being just a little bit nervous that I will be asked where my name comes from
Never again will I be able to look at my children and think “thank G–d we live in the 21st century – where Jews aren’t killed en mass for simply existing”
Never again will I be able to wake up in a world without wondering if people I know believe I have the right to exist
Never again will I be able to repair relationships with people who I deeply cared about because I saw how easily they threw me out with the bathwater
Never again will I feel whole
Never again will I ever believe you when you tell me “Never Again”
