This is another follow-up. What has been plaguing my mind since last weekend is the core of the conflict I am going through in the world, that I am not enough.
It is not enough to sign a petition calling out crooked politicians, you need to donate.
It is not enough to say the civilians of both Israel and Palestine deserve better, you need to choose a side and demand the erasure of the other like a deranged revolutionary.
It is not enough to get hope and help from non-Christians and believe that because they helped you, they will be saved because of Mark 9:38-41, your own biological family will challenge you on that, though you refuse to believe in or worship a Jesus who would condemn Tara Platt, Yuri Lowenthal, Laura Bailey, Sarah McKnight and Abby Trott
It is not enough to share the horrible things Trump is saying, you need to beat it into the fundamentalists' heads, though it is futile, these people want diversity silenced and one media, no video games, no Twitter, no thought, just obedience to their rigid interpretation of God, which has no mercy, only wrath.
All of this makes me want to sink into video games, music and sex, drown myself in pleasure, but it is fleeting and temporary. The song, game and story ends and the issue is still there, just as strong as before, perhaps stronger. It makes me furious, I want to enjoy life and I can't with the 2024 election and Twitter's trending topics breathing down my neck. I'm only on the website to share sports opinions and keep tabs on the men and women mentioned above, we are all in this crazy thing called life together, best to spend it with intelligent people and goofballs to lighten the load.
I've been busy making music playlists on YouTube, in the new year, these will be playlists in Spotify and iTunes (hoping to get a new computer for Christmas). As is typical for me, they are best of year based playlists and there may be more as time goes on.
