Here’s to one of the most inspiring Human Beings that has touched my heart and soul 🥂

It’s been 11 years now, but your legacy will forever be. Thank Yoü, Åaron 💗

•“Big stories need human stakes.”

•“Think deeply about things. Don't just go along because that's the way things are or that's what your friends say. Consider the effects, consider the alternatives, but most importantly, just think.”

•“There is no justice in following unjust laws.”

“Growing up, I slowly had this process of realizing that all the things around me that people had told me were just the natural way things were, the way things always would be, they weren’t natural at all. They were things that could be changed, and they were things that, more importantly, were wrong and should change, and once I realized that, there was really no going back.” 🧭

“I think deeply about things and want others to do likewise. I work for ideas and learn from people. I don’t like excluding people. I’m a perfectionist, but I won’t let that get in the way of publication. Except for education and entertainment, I’m not going to waste my time on things that won’t have an impact. I try to be friends with everyone, but I hate it when you don’t take me seriously. I don’t hold grudges, it’s not productive, but I learn from my experience. I want to make the world a better place.” — Thank You, Åaron… For those words, for everything else and so much more… Thank You, Åaron. Thanks for ëvërÿthïng ❄️

Today is Aaron’s birthday. I take time each year to remember and honor his work and life. His work still impacts mine on a daily basis. Loved and remembered, he left us too soon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz
