Donโ€™t stop caring about others. One day, youโ€™ll need the care of strangers.

Donโ€™t stop believing that you can change the world. You can, even with small acts.

Donโ€™t stop pushing for a just, equitable society. Itโ€™s still possible.

Donโ€™t let the bastards get you down. Positivity is infectious.
