Life, politics, love, kink, sex, the world. It’s all very messy.
Right now, I’m mostly just trying to survive. To reach up out of existing to do a little bit of living. But it’s hard. Everything is pressing back down. And I’m living a pretty privileged life. It’s even harder for those that aren’t. And that’s why I keep pushing. Pushing myself, pushing the government, pushing for a better life for everyone.
There’s a meme that goes around, but it’s true. For those out there trying to shout down the concerns of the Black Lives Matter crowd: I don’t know how to explain to you that you should care about other people. People are Suffering, People are Dying. We All Should Care.
Everything is messy, but that doesn’t mean we stop trying. Every relationship I’ve ever had has been messy, but the ones that lasted took work. We have to keep working to create a better world for Everyone.
I know, you didn’t come to this blog for politics. But that’s life right now. I’ll try to have some fun posts next month, but this isn’t going away any time soon.
My last post, was about a death in my community. I was hurting and couldn’t be more verbose. I’m still hurting, but I have a few words. She was a wonderful presence in our community. She helped my particular group for years to bring in presenters and keep things running smoothly. She was a mentor to many, and a friend to more. She will be missed, and even in this time when I am seeing no one, I miss her so much. But I know it will hit harder when we gather again. Without her.
