you know, sometimes you just take a step back |

the seemingly constant armoured and "on guard" stance flutters for just a second, and you get a fresh glimpse of what has become of our country, a fresh glimpse of her actions. And the totality of it all just hits you.
The last six years have really uncovered a thick layer of some fatty mess of hypocrisy and lethargic compliance in this country. Big, flabby layer around our heart, choking and slowing draining the life from our democracy. We'd better exercize our rights and hold tight to and buffet and defend our founding principles, while possible, because its close to being too late, a lot closer than I thought.
I don't know what I fear more, what the slime that is buscho (and by extension, the puppet repubs) will do before they leave, or what will be left.
Shields up.

1. sometimes I really need... |

to step back..and realize this is life. My life. And it goes on, until it doesn't. There is so much that is within my power to do. If the only thing I do is learn and teach what I learn..so be it. I refuse to become bogged down in a depressive state that does no good at all. I refuse to hate...there is so much hate. I don't want to avoid it, I want to face it, and see it for what it is. Fear. People are dying, and society is crumbling..all around me. And yet, people have gone before, and survived such horrific events, and still managed to walk wounded through the rest of their life. There are so many bright spots in the night time..I want to be one.
