I can't sleep
notes
i sometimes lose sleep over the fact that i can sleep through these atrocities and institutionalized poverty that exist around me.
with that said, it's not always a blissful sleep. i don't want to be naive to these events, but i also don't want to be consumed by them.
i feel that maybe i can and should do more while also acknowledging that i'll never be content with any approach i take or don't. so i do something small and accept it for what it is.
i also know these issues are complex, likely historically rooted and will take a societal shift let alone a personal one to address.
i will sleep tonight. maybe not as well as i want. i hope one day we all can sleep a bit better and the path towards progress is clearer and achievable.
