      Do what you can for people. It seems like you actually care and the world needs more people doing great things in the world like you’re capable of. And most of all take care of yourself.

      You’re damn right about the chess and ingenuity! 10 months spent in jail made me so good at chess! I watched the reasons they took the tablets away.

      Advocates completely change the direction of people’s lives.

      You want to restore someones faith in humanity? Advocate for a stranger. Deserving or not. Swing for the bleachers. Run for them, and run with reckless, almost negligent, abandon.

      There is nothing, NOTHING, that will completely uproot a person’s entire world view and improve it as an advocate.
