Big Issues

I often get spurred by the many issues that are sprouting throughout our society. The massive division that has split our communities. The state of the world and the rise of movements destined to harm many. I want to share my views. I want to challenge things. I want to pour out the many ideas and thoughts constantly bubbling up.

I often don't. Ever since COVID, I've become a bit more fragile. Scared of being attacked or having negative comments. Needing to engage in draining arguments when it is clear the person presenting their side is not the least bit interested in hearing what I have to say. They just want to 'win'

It's exhausting.

I also realize that I'm not helping myself by bottling up all those thoughts. I'm meant to express. I am a writer because ideas are constantly being born. I am only really alive when I share them.

Maybe that is something I can slowly and strategically start moving towards again.
