Open letter:
Today I find the journey very hard to stay positive and keep going when the world is at war and hatred is the new normal. It makes me feel like what’s the use. Polarized is what I see now, and we are in this place of acceptance of whatever is pushed at us from social media and that this is the new truth.
It makes me question everything about myself and what I believe about God. Am I to doubt everything that I have learned and just willingly jump into the fire of religion, in other words Christianity, and forget what I have seen and experienced in my life? Am I crazy to believe that we have lost any hope of recovery from this world? Do I have the strength to endure the gaslighting and persecution I have received from social media?
I always believed that the journey is personal and private. But I have since learned that we are not allowed to have independent thoughts and beliefs, that free will is not free anymore. It is being taken away from us and that is the pain I feel. I’ve always believed in free will and that we can walk away and do something else if we desire that. But I’m beginning to see that no matter what we do, it’s social media that is right and we are just pawns to be used to blame others for our choices.
So here I sit being the scape goat for people that refuse to take accountability for the choices they have made in their lives. I really understand the pain of being different and denied the right to live my life on my terms. This is the life I never believed I would have to live in, one filled with fear and loss. The part that threw me down was the people closest to me do not understand the pain of dead naming, gaslighting, and personal harm that has happened to me from the keyboard warriors that have made it their personal mission to destroy my life because they have bad relationships with their own families. Again, I live in a world that doesn’t want the truth, only the lies that give them comfort in the choices they have made....
