I am not sure what direction this blog will take, perhaps that is why I haven't continued to write?
I need to make more time is really the problem-yes my days are busy, but I sit on facebook at night, and I feel like this might be slightly more productive for my brain.
In my personal life there has been no lack of stress (and lack of money, and lack of patience) and in the world around us there is still hate going on and murders happening. I don't understand it, perhaps I don't have a vindictive personality? And I can't say I don't stereotype other cultures, but I am also never afraid to strike up a conversation with someone who has a different skin tone or way of dressing. I like to think I have respect for everyone-respect to me doesn't mean I have to agree with everything they do, but I agree with a freedom of choice. Am I pr abortion? No, but I feel everyone has a right to their own body and can make an informed decision, I believe everyone has the right to chose.
I wish mental health was more of a thing. When it comes to medical things I also believe in this freedom of choice, but things become difficult when it comes to depression or addiction issues. Do I believe that it is likely the person will fail if they are not in the right mind set? Yes? But what will put them in that mindset? I know many people who have hit rock bottom time and time again and it doesn't change their outlook. I truly do believe these things are chemical inbalences and need to be treated. If you have a meeting with your doctor, let's say an annual checkup, why don't they ask you how you are "feeling"? I guess most people would lie. That's the problem, it is very easy to give people the answers they want to hear and we are all guilty of that.
I am terrified of raising kids and teenagers in todays wold, I wonder if my parents were also? I like to feel like my generation has so much more stress and worries, but I am sure I am wrong. There is so much pressure-what school to pick? Stay at home with toddlers, or send to daycare/Montessori/preschool? Live close to family so you have built in care, or far away so you don't have to deal with them. Tell them everything or leave them in the dark? Not to mention I feel like I will be no help when it comes to homework because at least in my life very few things I learned in grade school I remember, not to mention everything has changed.
