It hurts to write
It hurts to write
If you follow me you know that I love to write, it is my passion, it is my purpose but yesterday I couldn't write. I had nothing in me, all of this has drained me.
I am sad, sad for the world, sad for people who can't see what is going on. I am sad for people not speaking up, for people that are pointing the fingers at others, calling each other names. Families and friends ripping each other apart.
I'm sad for people who follow this man who runs our country and cannot see him for who he truly is.
I'm sad that I'm going to leave a world from my girls that is so messed up and that my generation allowed it to happen. I am sad that in the 50 years since Martin Luther King, we have not changed at all, not one bit.
I had some hope a few years back, I thought that maybe when Obama was in office this was going to be the change.
I saw people have rights like no other time in my life. I saw the gay community and the LGBT community get rights to be married, to identify to who they felt they should have been born.
I saw the disabled community get rights to be able to do and get paid as much as anyone else.
I finally saw women getting paid the same as a man, and have the right to do with what she wanted with her body.
I finally had affordable Healthcare and poor children got better meals at school.
I saw a black man as president, something so many of us never thought would happen and I thought yes, we are making progress. Finally things are going to change. I had hope and then I don't know what happened, it was if I woke up one day and the world had lost its mind.
Somehow because we allowed two people, especially because it was a woman to run for presidency everyone decided not to vote. 4.4 million people did not vote.
Wait I'll let that sink in for a minute… yes, 4.4 million and even though Hillary Clinton won the national popular vote—48.2 percent—with a nearly 3-million vote margin. Donald Trump carried 30 states and somehow won the Electoral College vote by a 304-to-227 margin.
What ever the fuck that means?? To me it is yet another screwed up law in our country, if you win, you win, period but not in this messed up country. Note to the next generation something else to fix.
But I digress, one day it felt like I went to sleep and woke up in 1950, where blacks had no rights, where women were again second class citizens and could be talked about and spoken to with disregard and disrespect.
Where gay people were pushed back into the closets and people with disabilities were made fun of and yet so many of you think this is okay.
I have been crying for the last week because my heart is broken, to see all of this, to know we are going to leave this mess to the next generation, that my girls live in this kind of world…
I am sad.
I always say that I am like Tinkerbell, I believe in miracles, in happily ever afters but I don't know about this. I saw people who knew me and knew my heart come after me for my beliefs. I saw the ugly in people I never believed possible. I saw myself say things I would never say, yet did in the heat of anger. I am ashamed of myself and everyone in America.
People wondered why this happened, this didn't just happen, this has been going on forever but this was the stick that broke the camel's back. Maybe just maybe we will change. Maybe this generation will say enough is enough.
Maybe this will get the 4.4 million people who didn't vote out to vote this time. Maybe….
But one thing for sure my friends, we cannot go on like this, we cannot conquer this with hate…
I have been listening to Marvin Gaye's song What's going on….
"Only love can conquer hate…."
I know I can continue to write when I know that love will conquer hate…
So today, my friends more than ever we need to "Be the change you want to see"
"And just when the caterpillar thought his life over...he turned into a beautiful butterfly"
