Today, it's hard to write. I have a million thoughts running through my head and while my intention was to publish a short story today, I decided that I would like to vent.
I read this meme that said "Discipline is hard. Being an entrepreneur is hard. Working a full-time job is hard. Being consistent is hard. Being poor is hard. Choose your hard." I'm not sure why it triggered a venting session but it did so here it goes...
Everything is hard, especially when you feel displaced. I feel like I am here and I am all in when it comes to living out this human experience but then I connect with another human and I am overwhelmingly disappointed. To be in a constant state of disappointment is emotionally, physically, and mentally draining.
I know, I know! "You can't be disappointed if you don't have expectations."
I understand that I shouldn't have expectations but that is hard to actually have NO expectations. I think that this is a huge issue when it comes to mental health and how rapidly it is declining amongst youth. We've all be young so no matter what age you are now, you should be able to empathize with young people. However, young people have never been older.
If you are older, consider that before you judge.
It would be better if you accepted that your role is never to judge but to teach, lead, and instruct but y'all don't know what y'all doing either so you get frustrated with the youth... Wild to me but who am I?

Anyway, everything and everyone is so disappointing because everything and everyone is so contradictory. One minute it's "be kind" and the next it's "don't let nobody play in your face". WTF?!
When is it time to just live? Experience the fullness of life? Why do we have to worry about EVERYTHING? We used to GROW our food, we used to HUNT, we used to provide for ourselves. Not sit around at desks working to make money to stimulate the economy just to buy EVERYTHING that we need. They really just rebranded slavery and the invisible whips and chains are paychecks. The new punishment is not being able to flex... This is just how I feel today.
What happened to community and everyone following their path? Now, all we are teaching is to oversaturate the market with ideas to make us all rich so that we can spend that money on items that we don't need to impress people that don't care and to keep empowering a financial system that is in DEBT! Why?
What are we doing?
Why are we doing it?
What can we do better?
The future is now and hopefully, the future is tomorrow but what are we doing to CREATE the future that we want?
What am I doing? Malkia, what are YOU doing?
IDK, but I will keep trying to figure it out and in the meantime I will keep writing, learning, and implementing what makes sense in MY life.

I will keep trying. Today is another opportunity to try do better.
