Its 2020, and I’m tired.

For the past 6 months now, I’ve probably taken my life more seriously than any other time in my life. Last December, I started doing yoga. It was always something that I had wanted to do from a fitness perspective, but I was completely unaware of how it would completely change my life, my beliefs, and my worldview.

Within the past few days, the death of George Floyd has taken over our nation by storm. Protests have erupted across the nation, and many have taken to social media to express their outrage.

In September 2018, the nation had their ears glued to every word spoken by Christine Blasey Ford at the at the nomination hearing for now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. So many of us felt for this woman and couldn’t stand to see her tell her story in front of the U.S. Senate. We also couldn’t stand to see Justice Kavanaugh get through to the Supreme Court. The American Left was disgusted.

Before I begin my post, I want to explain what this post is and is not and take a moment to acknowledge the incredibly hard work done by our essential workers. Nurses, grocery store workers, food service workers, all of you. Thank you.

(I have sent this letter to my representatives in the US Congress, I have decided to post it here because I believe that the message goes beyond just my own representatives, but to everyone that represents our interests in government. I have changed some of the formatting for Vocal, but the message remains the same. If you agree with my message then please share it. We live in dark times, but that only means we must shine the light much brighter. Let your voice be heard. Let our voice be heard. // Namaste - Ju <3)
