Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.
I'm so tired of measles.
I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

Sage advice for those of nearly any age
Your life is just beginning. Be hopeful; you have years and years and *years* in which to achieve your goals, to make your art, to create your found family, to meet the right person and fall in love, to marry if that's your thing, to have kids if that's your thing. Your life is wide-open.
