A promise that changed everything: A conversation with Matthew McVarish

Survivors have every right to be angry, but anger can only carry us so far. It’s a powerful emotion that can drive us to take action, but it kind of feels like it pushes us along from behind. Fueled by anger alone, if we hit an obstacle, we get crushed. Compassion is a very different energy. It seems to pull us forward, and so when we’re compelled to act from a place of compassion, not anger, we’re more fluid. When we hit an obstacle, like water, compassion finds a way around. We don’t get crushed every time. That does not mean we become less bold or stop demanding accountability. It means our advocacy is rooted in something sustainable.
