I’m taking a break. From blogging. From spouting my opinion. From just reality.
I cannot take another bad news incident then followed by people who would willingly give up their freedoms out of fear. Look at the changes after 911. Hasn’t made us better or safer.
I’m sick. sad. angry. I have no answers. I only have opinions, that according to my husband, are harsh and need to stay in the darkness of my mind.
So, I think I’m going to spend the rest of this month reflecting. I need to figure out what I can and cannot handle and let the rest go. I need to figure out where my public persona ends and my private one begins and not let the two collide.
I need to find a way to formulate my opinion into something that will bring change, not more judgment and division.
Until I get to this place, I will remain silent.
Taunya, you are not the only one that goes through these thoughts and processes. I am not sure that any of us know how filter our thoughts of which ones to surpress and which ones we express. It’s a fine line, and one that I am not sure how to control. I am not passive, I am passionate about my beliefs.
I beg the question, do I not express for fear of offending someone or should I express as they do against what I have said. If they are comfortable enough to say when I am wrong……then shouldn’t I feel or express what I find is right?
Food for thought.
