ALL The Feelings...
Hey There.
So… when I revamped my website late last year I had the intention of blogging once a month. A realistic, easily attainable goal when I consider my other responsibilities. Then 2020 happened. And if you know, then you know. This year has been everything short of the “20/20 Vison” mantra that all of y'all were getting on my nerves with at the top of the year.
So here we are. Almost halfway through the year. And things are STILL trash. Coronavirus. Murder Hornets. A Parallel Universe. Aliens. Did I mention it’s only June?
As if 2020 wasn’t already in need of the reset button, #BlackLivesMatter has been ignited to levels never seen before.
People are fed up.
All unnecessarily killed this year due to racism and/or police brutality.
People are tired.
Needless to say, this year has me feeling ALL of the feelings. Sadness. Anger. Disgust. Annoyance. Frustration.
My anxiety has been at an all time high. But this isn’t just about me. This is actually WAY bigger than me. We can all agree that THIS TIME, it’s different. The tide has shifted. And we won’t be going back to “normal” ever again. Complacency is cancelled.
Statements have been published that can easily be recalled for accountability.
Money has been donated that can easily be tracked for impact and results.
Promises have been made that we refuse to see broken.
Yep, this time it’s different.
But my feelings remain the same.
Nevertheless, I mix in some Resilience. Hope. Perseverance. Strength. Pride.
Because we’ve finally embarked upon what I know will be a perpetual revolution towards reform.
So if you’re not down for the cause, keep your feelings to yourself.
