I'm ready, and I won't stop until everyone can live life knowing they can be whoever they want to be, live life as they want, love who they want without any fears and to be truly happy to be alive.
As I sit here and write this article I find it hard to put everything into words. Writers block is a real thing, I mean I've been gone for a couple months now. There is so much negative in our world and I can't even tell you how hard it is to put on an act like everything is okay, when in reality it's not. I've been trying to reflect light into what is a dark and looming country, hell even time. The future of our country is in the hands of extreme republicans who think they know everything when they only know so little. I am so sick of the name calling, the slandering, the half truth and "facts". It has came to the point where I no longer have Facebook on my phone because of the false news stories that get shared, misinformation one side tries to spread, and the division of certain minorities. ENOUGH. Please. I am a political science major and I am even get annoyed with it all. At the end of the day we are all human. Yes, all of us. And we need to realize that. We as a society need to empower each other, encourage one another, build bridges, not walls. More than ever we need each other.
The other day my theater professor and I had a talk and he truly amazed me. I told him it's so hard to want to be that change when evil and corruption wins. He told me, this outspoken, loud sixty-year old
the future needs more of you, people like you. There's kids out there struggling, families who are in dire need, young adults who are terrified to be who they are because of what society thinks and the ones who are in charge. I see so many people like you who go on and do amazing things, the world needs you.
After hearing this, the fire that once burned inside me reignited. It reminded me why I am so invested within politics and why I have this platform to write and get everyone more inform. There is still so much more progress that we need to do but make no mistake, I'm ready, and I won't stop until everyone can live life knowing they can be whoever they want to be, live life as they want, love who they want without any fears and to be truly happy to be alive.
