Why do we fight?

I feel scared whenever I think about the election.

Because of what is at stake.

Because really it’s everything that’s at stake right now.

Freedom.

Justice.

The right to have control over your own body.

Everything.

Right now at this very moment our country has never been so divided.

We fight over stuff that has been made up.

We fight over opinions.

We fight over every little damn thing and yet we do nothing to change it.

I wonder every day: Why?

Why do we fight each other?

Why do we fight over pointless opinions?

Why do we have to fight for the rights we should have had years ago?

I think it’s because of Trump.

He messed up the progress that we made over the course of years.

And now we need to get that progress back.

This is what we fight for. 

And we will not stop until we have rights that allow us to do what we want in our lives.

    But I can’t.
