It has been several months. I want to say I have had “writer’s block”, but I am not a writer. What I have experienced, is a complete change to what I have known as life being “normal”. I have been stunned and often times left speechless at what is going on in the world. So this is new life, okay, breathe.
I am an empath and I care about others hardships and really do not enjoy seeing people hurt. My heart has felt extremely heavy. It doesn’t matter if it’s COVID, people discussing politics, black lives matter, masks, plastic straws, or even the way the media portrays what is going on in the world. Someone always has an opinion, which is fine.. but come on people.. Why are we attacking people for a different opinion other than our own? Isn’t what we want is to be able to think for ourselves? And not be forced into thinking a certain way..? Is it really that hard for people to open their minds?
As someone who was born in the United States of America and have lived here all of my life, I have never felt more divided. I don’t feel like we are united at all.
We live in a time where you have to question EVERYTHING. You have to do your own research to determine if a news article is legitimate. Or even a post on social media. People so blindly re-share something that they read without even digging down to find out if it is the truth. And this is a problem.
I don’t know the resolution. I am one person that doesn’t always know how to use my voice. If there is one thing that has been great amongst all the chaos in the world.. it is that I have been educating myself in greater depth on a lot of the issues going on. I have learned a lot. More than I ever even comprehended was out there. It has made me sick to my stomach and I am only scratching at the surface.
Sometimes it has to get worse before it can get better. It isn’t too late. Let’s all be kinder to each other and not forget what simple kindness can do. Acknowledge when a fellow citizen is experiencing pain and injustice. If you don’t know something, educate yourself. Lucky for us, we live in a time where a simple Google search is at our fingertips.
We are all living in this historic time together and now more than ever, we need to come together. Again, it is not too late.
Outside is the right side. 
Yes, the time is right to heal and change our ways too, so that the nature heals too… Lovely insight here…
