I woke up feeling a bit melancholy. 4th of July at my parents home is always nostalgic. I total throwback to a simpler time.
This year the golf cart parade was smaller than ever and there was a float that had Christian nationalism on full display. That has NEVER happened before. The people in red, white, and blue were in smaller numbers this year.
Then I heard about what happened in Highland Park. I was worried for my friends, victims and all involved.
I’m so tired. I’m tired of the divisiveness in this country. I’m tired of the mass shootings. I’m tired less rights than a man and less rights than a gun. I’m all for individual political and religious beliefs but the divide seems like it is too wide now.
This country is headed down a dangerous path and I’m worried about our future.
