I’ve been looking at my social media algorithm and my last few posts and cannot believe how easily I slipped back into the United States narrative. It’s hard to keep your head down, nose clean and focus on what you can control or manage. I have this amazing new book series I’m working on and I’ve only written once this week, distracted with the AI, the war, surprisingly Covid popping up again, food poisons, etc. It’s brought me back to a place of dis-ease (yes, I’m using dis-ease instead of unease) and removed me from my place of peace and happiness.
I cannot change what is happening in our country. It’s so divided, so much misinformation, so many lies and distraction that there is zero communication, only shouting, blaming, spreading hate. All of that leads to final destruction. You cannot heal, you cannot rebuild if you cannot keep an open mind, keep empathy, keep your ears open. I’ve spent the last decade studying court cases, scientific studies and house bills that our government has passed for the past forty years. Our government is not with us, is not for us, and is guilty of genocide. I’ve attempted to help our people and have reached out to the ICC (International Criminal Courts) offering proof and testimony, but have received no communication from those who are supposed to help victims being transgressed upon.
I’ve also tried sharing with others what I have discovered, the actual court cases, not just my opinion, the actual studies, and have been labeled a conspiracy theorist. Currently, everyone is screaming, yelling and threatening anyone who does not have the same opinion as them, so I have given up. There are a few who are open and willing to have a conversation, who see the overall picture past the red and blue curtains. They see the true evil that is happening,, but they also see the masses who refuse to pull back the curtains, and the masses that have the blinders on and refuse to listen openly, they will lead the rest of the country into demise unfortunately. We have power in numbers, in unification, not in threats, yelling and hatred.
Realizing this is painful and sad, I refuse to spend however long I have (and truly, we never know. As the old saying goes, you could step off a curb and get hit by a bus tomorrow) I am going to choose happiness. I live on a piece of land that is my paradise. I have a beautiful family, amazing critters, a love for writing stories and a small community of readers who love and support me regardless of my “conspiracy theorist” title. I’m going to try and be more cognizant of when my mind slips back into the world of insanity and antipathy. I’d rather spend 10 days in happiness and bliss than years in fear, anger, depression and resignation.
I may never have an opportunity to travel to other countries, to experience amazing cultures that are new to me, but I can dream about them, read about them, appreciate my little piece of heaven and the beautiful souls that are out there. I see them. They are like the occasional lightning bug, cautiously blinking, searching for other magnificent souls. Keep your lights on, your hopes alive and focus on something beautiful today. It is amazing how good it feels and your body, your mind and your soul with thank you.
