"Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work, driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to a job that you need so you can pay for the clothes, car and the house that you leave empty all day in order to afford to live in it."- Ellen Goodman
Facebook welcomes me with dead elephants getting shot by ignorant trophy hunters, sea turtles getting plastic straws ripped out of their nostrils, and a family of wolves being shot dead in Alaska after being stalked by a snowmobile and then shot down with a semi automatic rifle. I am at a point in my life where I have replaced my ignorance with cynicism. Ive lost my bubbly personality and I am becoming a very callused young woman.
This "normal" life that we are living everyday has made us loose our sense with reality. We are manipulated in ways that are unfathomable and we let it keep happening. Our food and water contain toxic chemicals, petroleum is our currency and the power is held within the 1% club. If you do not believe this is happening, you have some homework to do!
I weep in sadness as I look at our lives and realize that at this point, nobody gives a fuck, and if they do give a fuck, they are automatically labeled as a fucking #Hippi. When did hippies become bad? Why is peace not an option anymore? You know what? THE HIPPIES WERE RIGHT, AND THE HIPPIES ARE STILL FUCKING RIGHT!!!!
Stop believing that we can't do anything about it. Stop believing that there is no hope. Instead, believe that we can make a change. Make those calls to those senators, sign as many petitions as you can, get off Facebook and Game of Thones and start dedicating your time to things that matter, things that can change the world. Support your local non profits that are trying to make a change, volunteer your time. Netflix and chill just means you will lay in your bed, eating Doritos filled with Palm Oil (don't get me started on Palm Oil) to only turn off your mind to just "check out".
Can anyone out there please tell me that they give a flying fuck about the animals and mother earth? Please?
What have you done to start making changes in your life?
If your cost of living was covered, would you work to heal the planet or keep going to your 9-5 job five days a week?
"When the power of love overcomes love of power the world will know peace."- Jimi Hendrix
