It’s been a while since I’ve felt like writing. I feel like my mind has been hijacked by all the crap going on in this country, and the world, the last couple of weeks. I literally can’t seem to pull myself away from it. I find myself falling into the abyss, even commenting from time to time on the BS. It’s become a problem and I am recognizing it, acknowledging it. I’ve skipped days of journaling because I wake up and immediately pick up my phone to see what’s happened overnight, and before I know it hours have gone by. It literally sucks me in. I search the internet, different platforms, following so many different people that I had never heard of less than 2 weeks ago, searching for the truth. What has happened to me? The real question is what has happened to us? As a country, as humanity?
I have never been political, rarely following politics. And if I’m honest, I had no use for history or social studies in high school. So there is a lot that I don’t understand, but I have been doing research and educating myself over the last few months. And I have family members that were in the military, choosing to fight for this country, for YOU, for your FREEDOM. We are losing that freedom. A little more each day. And I am so sad. It’s shameful. I am worried about the world my granddaughter is going to grow up in.
What is going on in this country is SO WRONG. There is so much anger and hatred being spewed from every direction. The so called “leaders” of this country are calling for unity, for peace and healing. They then voice their hatred for the President of the United States, hatred for the people who support him and believe in his cause, creating even more division, more hatred. Why? Because they believe something different? I guess I am one of the lucky ones, I grew up with parents who taught me to respect the President, the leader of our great country, regardless of how we feel about him. He was elected by the PEOPLE. That is what this country was based on, that is what we should stand for.
I’m sorry to say that I have found myself personally feeling that anger and hatred, for the things I read or listen to. This is not who I am. This is not who we should be. We no longer respect one another. But I do believe that love and light can heal this world. IF enough of us believe. IF enough of us can come down from our “better than thou” mentality. IF enough of us can just stop and LISTEN to our friends, our neighbors, our families. Listen to each other’s opinions and concerns, with an open mind and an open heart. Respect each other. Stop attacking one another with hate filled words.
I’m more of a spiritual person than a religious person, but I have found myself these last few days praying to God. Praying for peace. Praying for our country and the American people.
God Bless America.
