So Much Heartache…
Sometimes, there are no words to describe what is linked below:
Texas shooting suspect still at large as father says family called 911 five times (msn.com)
This is not an isolated incident; far from it. We all know this.
Which is why my heart aches. Like, literally aches with this knowledge.
It feels very helpless and hopeless to be “trying” to exist in a society that permits this to happen, more and more all the time. HOW are any of us supposed to be feeling right now? It is absolutely harrowing beyond belief.
Obesity. Depression. Anxiety. Welcome to America.
Think these things are not linked? They most surely ARE.
And yet, our government does absolutely NOTHING.
I no longer recognize my country of origin. It has turned into something horrific. Ever since the “election” in 2016, when traveling overseas, I have been ashamed and embarrassed to admit that I am American. I still feel that way, yet even more so now. “More guns than people” — that pretty much says it all, really, doesn’t it? Destruction versus humanity.
As human beings, we are not designed to process so much violence all the time. It is relentless. It is unyielding. And it shows no signs of abating.
