Opinion

I wanted to create a message for everyone. 
Regardless of political party, Republican or Democrat,
red or blue,
I want people to think red, white, and blue.
Think community
rather than division.

I believe that there are some aspects of ourselves that we never lose. Nobody ever really changes that much, do they?

Every time I drive through my neighborhood, I see presidential candidate signs. Big, small, sometimes just a single lawn sign, and sometimes a sea of red and blue.

How will history remember us? There are 67 million of us in the U.S. and 2 billion around the world. We are inheriting the decisions made by the Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation.

Your opinions aren't invalid.
in fact I think they are too valid,
So blatantly true that half the world might plug their ears,
Afraid of the truth.
And your statements aren't incorrect,
Just the opposite I feel,

You say, “Make America great again.” But what you really mean is “Make America white again.” All lives matter, right? Then why is this world so unfair? People are living here in America who have to fear for their lives every day. Why?

A country where women are raped, harassed, denied rights to their own body, restricted from jobs, oppressed, and denied a proper education is a country I don’t want to live in.

I recently talked to a crazy man. If I had to guess, I would say paranoid schitzophrenic. I've met quite a few. While he was screaming in my face, I listened. Not nessecarily to learn about conspiracy theory, but so he felt listened to.

Our lives have all changed. Nobody was expecting this and it has uprooted people everywhere all over the world. There are so many unknowns right now and so many things that are causing stress.

This year there was no family feast.
The kitchen was deserted,
There was no cleaning in the least
The house was not converted.
We did not grab the extra chairs
Or find the doily thingies,
No one went the extra mile
