I don't really have the effort it takes to express my thoughts of late. I feel sick and desperate. I don't really know how to define what's right in my head or my heart and I feel a little bereft at the thought of functioning in general. Going through the motions in a society like today's is kind of beyond me. I wonder when the space ship is

I can relate. Trust me.

I don't want to watch the news because it makes me really bitter and somber (like the thing with the cat mutilations), but I don't really have any choice. Otherwise, I'll be turning my head like everyone else does, and not attempting to contribute anything to make any semblance of a difference, which (in turn) leaves me to look like a somber and bitter person when I'm truly not. Does that make sense??? ...or am I babbling at this point???

Better to be aware of what's going on (especially with alternative media outlets) and retain some humanity than to be in blissful ignorance and be a social zombie. I'm surrounded by people in this town who accept right-wing propaganda and advertising product placements instead of reality. They become pod people and don't even know about it; it's the classic case of the hive mentality.

Good point...

It just gets old being the martyr for everything. I could turn a blind eye if I tried. Sheesh, I can't even eat without feeling guilty.
