A revolution can mean many things. A person who looks up at a cliff and decides to climb it, with their bare hands. A group of protestors stare down tanks, with nothing but resolve and courage. By themselves, these underdogs likely had no idea of the ripples their actions would cause, of the turnings they would then set in motion, and the revolution they would ultimately undergo.
Some of them, as many who find themselves at the forefront of a revolution, lost their very lives before their revolution began. Whereas, others started their entire world down a different path. Their creativity, their self-acceptance, their brilliance — this kind of non-conformist confidence has the power, not just to raise a person up, but to change the planet. It has the power to start trends, to build life-changing devices, to promote new understandings, to heal the divides between communities.
All this, because people, like you, choose to be different, choose to be true to yourself, and choose to be a revolution of one.
