Feeling more certain and less confident every day. Wishing I could have one day when I didn't question life. When I didn't want to cry about the people my age out on the street begging, or the people who could be my grandparents out on the streets too. When I didn't think about political inequity, violence, and abuses of power.
Wishing I could have everything like I always thought I could, not realizing that there are only so many hours in the day, so many years in a life. Trying to decide what I should sacrifice, which dreams can and cannot come true. Wondering if my fears are unfounded.
Trying to understand why there is so much hate and prejudice in a country founded on ideals of community and unity, flawed as those original founding parties were. Trying to not hate, trying to remember to breathe, to love, to embrace knowledge, learning, friendship, confusion, uncertainty...
