You can't ride the fence

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. Desmond Tutu

No fence riding allowed. To say you are in the middle and don't want to get involved involves you on the side of the oppressor. Choosing indifference means you have chosen oppression. When it comes to situations of injustice there are so many levels you can jump in on that there is no excuse for neutrality. Don't let the injustice scare you, don't let it make you so uncomfortable that you join sides with the oppressors unknowingly. Be brave enough to educate yourself, be brave enough to jump in on some level of assistance. Be brave enough to get off the fence.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
