Can we say that 2020 has turned into a shit show?
It feels like we’ve been doing this stay at home thing for years, but it has only been since March. I was reminded by how much time had gone by when I noticed that pumpkin spice everything is being made in every way possible. Have you all see the new pumpkin spice popcorn by Skinny Popcorn? I need to find me a bag of that.
Let’s get to what I want to talk about. Politics. Just kidding. I don’t know much about it other than what is said or written about in most media platforms and the necessary research I do in my free time. I also know about politics in the way that I interpret it. What I write might not be what you see or hear. If it is or isn’t, then chime in. I’d love to hear what you have to say because I do care. But please make sure to stick with facts that you have personally found, not something your friends/family/ media shared on social media or bullshit articles/posts attacking someone else. We should all know that it is a big no-no. Who still believes everything their friends/family/media share without doing a quick google check before sharing? I am no sheep, nor do I want to lead anyone. But is being a sheep that bad? I heard they are tasty. KIDDING!
Okay, let’s get back to what has been going on through my head during my long hot showers.
I’ve noticed an abundance of red this, blue that, and I thought we were trying to get past trying to separate ourselves from each other with color? Or are we just going backward again? Why is that we can’t seem to stop trying to create borders between us? I am all for being your true self, your authentic self, different from the rest of self, but why does yourself have to try being better than the other? Why are we competing against one another? Not all, but there are many people out there from every part of the world trying to create some way of making lines between us. BUT WHY?
That’s the end of my shower talk.
Now to voting. I know your favorite thing to do and talk about.
We are getting closer to election time. I keep reading that this election is the most important, but all elections are important and fit the time period. This election is vital for this time period and will affect the future as all other elections have been done. Please make sure you are going out to vote! If you are in Texas, we get to early vote starting next week! Now, I will NOT tell you a name to vote for, and I will not tell you a color to vote for. What I will tell you is to think about why you are voting for that person? If it is based on party color, that is not how you should vote. If it is based on what your friends and family tell you, that is not your voice be heard, but theirs. If it is based on fear and the media, again, not how you should be voting. Instead, voting should be you doing some basic research on which PERSON you should be voting for. Do NOT go based on their campaign. We can all promote ourselves as something we are not. Our real character shines in the things we do. What have the candidates done for their country that wasn’t something that had to be done based on their job title or to make them look appealing to American voters? Take a few minutes, or for some of you hours, off social media, and do some real research. Check out this great article on Candidate Research, on how you can create real, meaningful research for yourself.
VOTE VOTE VOTE!
