What’s Normal
Someone I recently met started having an apocalyptic conversation with me and I can’t get it out of my head.
They said something along the lines of the fact that the world really and truly could turn to dust tomorrow (or even ten minutes from now) and what would any of what we are doing in our lives matter?
All of the social media that people love, hate, or can’t even try and understand? It wouldn’t matter anymore.
All of the media that drives the political opinions and rhetoric and polarization for the piling up of the “almighty” dollars? None of that would exist to be able to add up to anything either.
All of the ways we as human beings continue to fail each other individually whether it’s remembering that #BlackLivesStillMatter even though (in the US) in the last four hundred years especially? They would continue to not matter.
Let’s not even get into the ways that all of us continue to fail to help women and girls to be anything more than scrutinized, blamed instead of being fully seen and cherished as the beautiful and amazing creatures they always have been from whenever any of us believes creation began.
However, it still wouldn’t matter.
How did we even all get here?
