So, I originally planned a different blog post that is currently sitting in my drafts fully done. I just felt like because of current events that I needed to do go a different way this week. My mind really changed within the last few days, so here are my words about things.
In the southern part of the state there are a lot of symbols of hate that present themselves daily and are pretty engaged in the life of a typical southerner whether you like it or not, and trust me I don’t. Unfortunately, they are there. In my town, such symbols are celebrated as history as the actual history is not good enough and called heritage as if that makes sense.
One of the first things I remember learning in church when I was a child was that one should never pledge their allegiance to anything but God or the lord. Yet, the same people would pledge and show allegiance to the flag, the country, and different political figures. I remember being very bothered by this as a child because the same people telling me in the church not to do this, was the same telling me to do it. Why was one thing okay but the other not?
There is something to say about someone who uses someone else’s death as a way to get attention and sympathy for themselves when they never even care about the person who died. When the funeral is just a fashion show for someone’s fake tears and so they can parade around in short skirts then it is obvious that there is no heart or soul there. This just makes me sick because my Papa deserves better than to have someone who never cared about him at a celebration of his life, especially if he didn’t even like her because he seen her for the fake person she was.
As of the fourth, I would have been blogging regularly for one year, so hurray me. I never thought that I would be able to stay on a schedule like this so, I am pretty proud of myself. I hope to be able to do this for another year. Just like last week, I had another blog planned but this one is happening so, yeah.
