"I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own."~ Audre Lorde To be totally honest, I’m not okay. I’m angry. I’m sad. I’m scared. I’m just existing. I’m trying to exist. To go to the grocery store, and pay my bills. Show up for my job and do the work well. Show up for me and take care of my body still. Work out, eat healthy, shower, brush the tangles from my hair, put on sunblock. Lotion. Brush my teeth. Take out the garbage. Answer the phone when they call. Text them back. Tell them I love them. Smile. Make the bed. Wash the car. Open the mail. Go to the movies. The movie is about a dystopian future where aliens are controlling or lives with propaganda that creates an individualistic and selfish society so no one cares to care about anyone anymore. So no one will do anything about the damage being done. I laugh instead of crying. I don’t know what else to do.
excellently articulated my friend 🙏🏼
