It& #39;s hard to put into words, but my heart feels like it& #39;s sick to its stomach.

So many within our own communities are going around hurting others. Our law enforcement only enforces racist ideals, and our own government refuses to work for us. Inescapably, everything feels bad
It seems like the simplest thing in the world to be decent. To not be a predator. To support other humans. To believe in gay rights. I& #39;m not hoping to accomplish anything with this thread, other than to share what& #39;s weighing my mind down right now. I& #39;ve been quiet for too long
I spent many months deleting every single tweet I wrote out, whether it was a joke, or a comment on someone else& #39;s post. I lacked self worth, and assumed no one cared. When it got no interaction, it would make me feel worse, so why post it?
Mentally, I& #39;m feeling much better now than I was at the start of 2020. That is, in terms of my own stability and confidence.

I am, however, equally sad, just targeted at other things. The state of the world. The state of my country. The fact that this isn& #39;t new at all.
I am one of the privileged. I am white, I am straight, and I grew up with loving family and friends. But it makes me absolutely furious that this sort of oppression (towards people of color, towards women) has been ongoing for centuries. Fuck the USA
This country has never once been great. It can& #39;t be great until it& #39;s great for all that live here. Money and power are higher than the rule of law, and they always have been. The injustices are ancient, people are just now beginning to wake to them.
This is a place that purports to be the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The & #39;free& #39; are placed in cages. The & #39;free& #39; are shot and killed for existing. The & #39;free& #39; are bullied to death for their orientation.

And the & #39;brave& #39; are who?
