I realize more and more everyday how sick our world society has been. The good news is that everyday I see more and more people trying to create a better world. Why do we go around insisting on hurting people? And even encouraging it in media/entertainment? Most of it has to do with the hurt we all carry around, passed back and forth from person to person by hurting them. When I was 15 I was raped while blackout drunk. I was a virgin. I’ve been in physically and emotionally abusive relationships throughout my life. All that said I don’t attach myself to these experiences. I can’t. They are too heavy to carry with me. They are not who I am but shaped me to be who I am. It is difficult to bear the thought of those experiencing worse than me. So I choose to hope. Hope, dream and create a more peaceful and loving planet one act of kindness and truth at a time. To dance, to celebrate life and all that is good in this world until violence ceases to exist. “You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope some day you’ll join us and the world will live as one.” ~John Lennon Imagine
