 In the past few years, there has been an eye-opening experience for most. A shocking revelation to say the least. The outrage, the anger, the sense of confusion is something that has always bothered people of color and has always been a speaking point in some place and time, but now it's visual. Now, in the age of voyeurism, the speculation of hate is truly seen. The question is, now that there is an "acceptance of hate", how much further will it go?

 In the years that's I've worked in operations as an Admin/Office Assistant, I've seen this hierarchy, a totem pole of sorts of office politics that I've always noticed, but has now turned into dread starting with the number one culprit: Respect.
 What is in that pretty head of yours? Is it peace? The sounds of waves crashing against the sharp stones. The soothing melody of chirping of birds and chimes ringing with the cool summer breeze. Rain tapping gently on the window pane as the sun peaks through the clouds. Or is it wonder? The bright eyes of innocence that welcomes curiosity and mystery of the world. Swirls of colors giving hope to something that was once lost. Magic and whimsy ever flowing down the waterfall of creativity.
No, it's chaos. Spiderwebs of doubt and fear clouding all judgments. A timeline of paths taken, lit by flames of regret. Thoughts extinguished, hiding in smoke. Maniacal laughter echoing in the darkness, driving you into insanity. You try to escape the negativity, but it inches closer and closer. You break through the fog, coming out of it with confusion and distrust. You soon realize to embrace the darkness, for it motivates you to do the impossible. To set the highest goal for yourself and achieve it.  I was listening to my Spotify one day and a commercial for Uber Eats came on, where Starbucks and Uber Eats are collaborating to make delivering their expensive cup of joe more accessible to their customers (I tease, I like Starbucks, I just don't live for Starbucks). It made me realize, we are extremely lazy species. Why the hell do we need a delivery service for coffee? Like Chase, there is a Starbucks at every corner.
 Valentine's Day. Val-en-tine's Day. Hallmark holiday. Flying baby in a diaper shooting arrow hearts day. I don't know, I'm very indifferent about this holiday.
Fear is a powerful emotion. It's a bitch is what it is. It is such an immobilizing feeling. Debilitating. It stuns you in a way that you didn't even know it affected you so. Fear is like a Boggart in Harry Potter, an unidentified mass that can shift into anything, but unfortunately saying the word ridiculous won't make the fear go away. So what will? There's a coined phrase by Franklin D. Roosevelt, "Only thing we have to fear is fear itself". Let's evaluate that, shall we?
