Reassurance, as if!
Just another voice of the ignored.
I feel stuck.
My feet are glued to the floor. I couldn’t move even if I tried.
It’s like one of those movie scenes where the protagonist is standing still, the realities of life becoming a whirlwind around them. They’re helpless to the situation they have found themself in.
That’s kind of how I feel too. Helpless. There’s nothing I can do to solve the problem at hand.
I just have to sit and wait for it to get better. The heartbreaking part is the fact that it didn’t have to be this bad.
It’s hard to believe they aren’t living in a different reality than I am. “They” being the actual decision-makers, to use basic terms. Do they not feel our pain? Are they choosing to ignore our cries for help?
Oh, how nice some reassurance would be.
There are people preparing for the end of the world. Or the end of the country at least. It’s hard to say they are overreacting. I empathize with their fear. As of yet, there has been no clear message or sign that you shouldn’t be scared.
I’m definitely scared.
I think if you’re struggling, it hurts more to know that millions of other people are in the same position. You shouldn’t have to carry that pain. It’s a pain of abandonment and betrayal. A feeling that you didn’t matter enough to those with the power to help you.
No one should have to experience that type of suffering.
The thing is, you do matter. You deserve reassurance and safety, especially from those you elected to give you exactly that.
This system is failing us. I don’t think any single person has the solution, but don’t you think we should start thinking about it?
What this country has for so long considered “normal” is now hurting a majority of its people.
I just wish they would listen to us.
