Frustration sets in after awhile. It is only possible to absorb so much before one becomes consumed with rage. I myself have reached that point.
Everyone has something they are pushing. Everyone has something that is near and dear to them. And with the widespread use of social media, it is ever so easy to let others know of the cause they should be fighting for. Everyday news articles are shared, liked, and retwitted to the masses. Newsfeeds and timelines are bombarded with stuff that matters to your “friends and followers” all the while trying to make you known of the issues, products, or events that are taking place.
This is where my frustration grows.
I long to create content through various mediums. I want to bring entertainment to people. But yet every time I do, it is simply ignored. It is passed over for something bigger, bolder, something that simply doesn’t matter. I wonder why this is? It makes me wonder who my “friends” are. I know my friends are supportive. They offer advice, assistance, and even participate in the process.
This is the frustrating part, you want me to like, share, and follow all the crap you send me, yet you fail to reciprocate the gesture. Well no longer will this be the case. I will know practice Quid Pro Quo. If I do not get anything from the relationship that we have created, I will cut you off. No longer will I be your vessel for nonsensical communications. I will no longer participate your ridiculous propaganda campaigns against whatever it is you’re pushing.
Simply because you shared the latest issue, event, or idea does not mean you are helping that cause. You want to help, go outside and assist in the crisis. Go to your polling station and cast your vote. Call your Representative/Senator and let your thoughts been known. Until then, your actions are pointless. You will never act what it is you seek. Unless you just want talking points to share with the likeminded simpletons you associate with.
I will leave you with this, when you reflect over your mediocre life, know that you are the reason for it. I will press on with or without support, because I want to succeed. What I am creating, or will create has purpose. And one day will help others find what they are looking for.
