Been struggling with writing this, writing anything, really. My brain goblins have been acting up, but aside from those limitations, I feel almost like I’m too insignificant and the wrong person to be making a big post about what’s been going on. But that’s very selfish of me. This affects us all, and even my small voice can add to the ocean of change in our world.
So much is going on. Blatant racism and brutality and hate. People are being murdered and human rights are being trampled on, all while a pandemic is raging on. What a distressing time to be alive.
I’ve been feeling useless. I do long to be out on the front lines, protesting and marching, but I’m not in a position to do so, for many reasons. I don’t have more than a little bit of money to donate for the victims and protesters. But I can still play my small part.
Seeing all of the brave protesters, all of the kindness and community that arises from tragedy, all of my dear friends and family speaking out in support of black lives and in support of all of those who are being silenced… it keeps me going.
Let’s all do our little part. Donate, sign petitions, educate yourselves, and speak up in defense of your fellow humans. Not to be a huge nerd, but I’m ending this with the words of the great Avatar Kyoshi, “Only justice can bring peace.”
