(no subject)

Tensions are at an all time high today. Months built up of emotions boiling at the surface. The sad part is that this isn't just one issue I'm specifically talking about... so much is at the breaking point for so many people. I've seen it coming, and it has to... letting things fester isn't good, and maybe a breaking point is needed for things to return to peace and harmony (as silly as that sounds... but I mean it)

Trying hard to focus on the positive and remain hopeful that things like love and friendship and trust will win out no matter what's thrown at it.

Posted this on Facebook. And seriously I know I'm not alone in this, I know it's not just local, I'm noticing tension and anger and hurt all over the place and it's been building for months. Maybe it was election season pushing too many buttons and making normal levels of drama seem far more dire, I don't know. But it's been really hard for everyone and gods help me I just want it to resolve.

Maybe it has to be through fighting, maybe angry words need to come to light instead of being hidden, maybe there'll actually be civil discussion that leads to hugs and forgiveness but no matter how it goes down I think it needs to happen. Where there used to be balance and harmony between people there's chaos and anger and I'm seeing cracks in foundations that used to be so strong. And without resolving these things... the cracks will deepen and soon the break will be too terrible to repair.

I'm seeing steps in the right direction here and there. It's good, it's forward... but there's still a lot there.
