If you support those who do what best fits them, so long as it harms none, then repost this.
If you are a son or daughter who has been told you HAVE to say a prayer to fit in, or you HAVE to remove your religiously-affiliated jewelry or you'll "scare someone", then repost this.
If you are a son or daughter who has had to pass off their religious beliefs as a "fad" or a "trend" that you've grown out of, then repost this.
If you're tired of hearing your mother or father say "Maybe if I'd taken you to church more often" once they know you've chosen something different, then repost this.
If you have been told "as long as you bring home a nice young man (or woman, if you're male) and give me some grandchildren, it's fine", then repost this.
If people have tried their hardest to degrade your beliefs and make them seem like mere flights of fancy, to tear down your confidence, your belief, and your faith, and through it all you've come out resilient, then repost this.
