You know, sometimes I just want to disappear to a space, land, world, all to myself. Just me, food, and some good music. Sometimes being “aware” is just too much. Sometimes, I just don’t want to know. Sometimes, I wish the world could just be….

The upcoming presidential election. Coronavirus. Wildfires. Natural disasters. Violence. Racial tensions. A country divided. How much is too much? How much is a person supposed to take? How much more can a person handle? Loss of jobs. No food. Mental illnesses. Foreclosures. Evictions. Climate Change. Human trafficking. Child abuse. Lack of insurance. How much more?! Sometimes, I wish the world could just be….

I’m tired of the uncertainty. I’m tired of not feeling safe to live. I’m tired of worrying so much about my kids’ lives and their futures. I’m tired of reading about the divisiveness in this country. I’m tired of hearing about the hate. I’m tired of seeing the hurt, pain, and sorrow. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired.

Sometimes, I wish the world could just be….more loving. More kind. More understanding. More emphatic. More sympathetic. More united. More logical. More fun. More free. More happy. More caring. More relaxed. More peaceful.

Sometimes, I wish the world could just…..be!
