"Attitudes will change. Life will get better. And you will have a lifetime of happy memories if you just allow yourself and give yourself the time to make them." (Joel Burns - October 13, 2010)
That quote was taken from Joel Burns' It Gets Better speech, which went viral when he delivered it ten years ago in front of the Fort Worth City Council. We'll continue to revisit quotes from early It Gets Better stories throughout our ten year anniversary.
