Thoughts this past year...one being, "get over it?" oh, don't bother crying on my shoulder ever again.

I don't like to complain. I really don't. However, I have to say that the planet is full of people who don't realize how quickly our world is falling apart because of plastic and pollution to make things we want as consumers. Our oceans are sucking up all the carbon dioxide and the fish are eating the plastic, and our planet is dying. We can pretend we don't have time to care, but eventually we will have to or our kids will have to. Either way, hear hear to those who try to make it a better place.

This being said, we have to live here and we have to live here how we want within reason. We have our lives to worry about. We have questions, well I do, like "what is home? - where do I want to live? - who are my REAL friends? - what is most important to me? etc". You have a few people you have done so much for and would do so much for you.  Friends or family who want you to stand by their side when they are in times of trouble, they would do the same right? Hopefully! If you rarely complain, and listen immensly to the complaints of others, and then you do complain and it doesn't suit the person and you are told to "get over it", your view can vastly change, and honestly the answer should be "don't bother crying on my shoulder anymore like you have in the past." Do you really say this out loud though? Maybe you should.

Sometimes we live in a world with an eye of optimism and see places or people as amazing, even though we know the truth. Humans tend to look at the world through filters, and when we purposefully remove those we can see what we truly want, not what others want for us. What kind of world do we want, and what kind of world do we need to survive as a species on a social and environmental level? Think about it.
