Greetings Q-folks, I'm overdue in sending my deep gratitude.
My real awakening started around 11/11/11, so I greatly look forward to celebrating 7 years with a parade, thanks a lot for that! :) I recall a lot of feelings of helplessness and despair, as if I'd go through another lifetime without seeing the world change.
I come from about as far to the left as anyone I know. (I don't even know how to describe myself any more, "liberal" and "leftist" and so many words have been twisted beyond recognition.) Parents were highly involved in Civil Rights in the south. When the DNC scum thwarted Bernie, I was angry and lost hope again, assuming there was no way Trump was with the good guys.
And somehow on election night, as my feeds were BLOWING UP and my friends were literally crying all over the place….I was laughing. I was laughing hard enough I had to leave so as not to "offend" anyone. I couldn't believe that I was feeling hopeful right then, because it seemed like a certain script was no longer being followed.
I've been wanting to serve in whatever way I could. I've tried for years to red pill friends and family, almost entirely to no avail. I have more informed and better conversations with my republican/conservative friends now, and there is SO much crossover in our thoughts and ideologies, all it takes is for people to move beyond ego and be willing to understand that most of their assumptions are based on manipulation. I'm constantly gathering info that I think can BRIDGE the gap between our multiple narratives of reality.
Having experienced the DARK depression I was in 7 years ago, I know the process that people are going to be going through. It feels like the loss of a family member. People are going to face that everything they ever knew about their country and world has been a BIG LIE, it rips away a major part of you and you feel stupid for having fallen for it. We will ALL be in charge of GUIDING friends and neighbors through the process, and the awful emotions they'll have to face.
I intended this to be a quick note, but oh well. Just too much to say about this process, and no way to thank you all enough. Can't wait to wave to you in the parade!
