I’ve been thinking about what I should write for my “first” post for a new blog for potentially weeks. It’s been back and forth with should I got more serious, or should I go more creative. Do I want to rant and rave about the things that are bugging me internally, or do I want to use this opportunity to explain how we see things differently yet sometimes want the same end goal? Do I just say forget all that and just focus on writing creatively?
That’s the never ending struggle. What do I want to write? What do people want to hear? On one hand, talking about politics and the state of the world most people just ignore it. Especially those that are already pretty set in their ways. At the same time, it feels wrong to not say or do anything. I can’t believe that families that are just trying to survive, who want what they think is best for their family, honestly think that slavery and deportation and hurting those around them with chronic illnesses and mental health issues and those who are LGBT+ is the answer to the “problems” of America.
Yet here we are.
What is our reality right now? Is this the next holocaust? Is this the next World War? Is this the change of democracy to an oligarchy? Is this just an attempt to overwhelm us all into giving up and letting them win? I don’t know. I’m new to the whole politics things. I used to have the though that if I just don’t pay attention, it’ll go away. If I ignore it, I’ll be fine. I avoided the news because it upset me, I avoided anything that upset me. I still don’t like the way the news or politics or anything that’s really going on right now makes me feel, but not doing or saying anything doesn’t fix the problem.
For now, I don’t know what this blog is going to be for. Perhaps it’s a place for me to vent my frustrations. Perhaps it’s a place for me to discuss therapy or crafting or polyamorous relationships or adoption or whatever I want that has gone on in my life. My life has been a whirlwind of situations and I don’t know where it’s heading.
Perhaps you can join me for the journey.
