Either I change or the World changes. Or I die.
Hello, people of reddit. I'm sorry for my English, it's not my first language. But honestly I don't know what to do anymore, I don't even know if I'm posting this on the right forum.
I'll just get into it instead of wasting your time.
Has the release of the Esptin files genuinely made people more fuck up or they just NOW realizing how fucked the world was? Not, being mean or trying to bring offense or shame but don't seriously tell me you thought your children were safe even when you told them don't trust people not even your teachers or it is just me?
Lately, I seen people become more aware of the world and making their children more aware too. I seen people say they are going to make things change, people say that now that they have been made aware of things they will change the world for the better. But awareness isn't enough. Being aware that you're dying doesn't make you better if you just say you're going to get help and never get it. Sure, you might get closure but that's about it. Victims on crimes in our days barely get consequences. The governments all around the world not just American are corrupted and we know this. We are aware but we aren't doing anything about it because WE CAN'T.
Governments from countless countries are targeting the most vulnerable population; children, disable people and the elderly. Education is decreasing its value in multiple countries and multiple countries are falling behind academically and the populations are NOT being made aware of what is happening outside their own countries. Apps are banned and the 'younger more aware' generation is forced to cut down their voices. The currencies of countless "smaller" countries are losing their value and are having a supernatural increase in crimes. Pensions for the elderly in MY own country is now being taken away by my government. They think the new generation is dumb and won't realize that the government is distracting us. More crimes are being discovered and people are growing more aware EVERYWHERE and yet, nothing is being done because our voices are being cut down, our faces are getting censored, our families are being threatened and our homes are being burned.
The people want a change and the governments is unwilling to provide it even while having all the resources needed because it means the people will have power. The governments are aware of all of this issues, none of them are new by any means but what is new is the awareness. Government are afraid of this awareness because it's more likely that we will find sooner or later find a light in this cruel dark world. Weather that's in form of a law, a person, a character or a revolution. Our voices won't stay silent because we are afraid. Our fear is makes us human, it untie us someday.
People are aware. CHILDREN are aware. I have been aware since I was in first grade that just because I'm a girl I'm not going to get a job easily, I have to YELL to make myself be heard, I can't trust ANYONE because even family members can rape and kill me, I have to snuggle in this world because I was born a girl. Because I'm young I'm going to die because my future is being taken away by a government, businesses and people who simply want their money.
People say there's still time for change. For growth. For healing. And there is. And not enough is being done because our resources are being taken away by companies worth multiple millions or even billions. Either I change (which I have no other choice in because if I don't change and if I continue being a child in this world, the chances are I'm going to get raped, tortured, kidnapped or if I'm lucky I'll just get killed) or world changes (laws have to be made with more of the vulnerable population in mind. Kids are going to learn what you teach them, if you teach them NOTHING they will learn nothing. Teach them evil and they will learn evil. Teach them to be kind and help and they will help) or I die. By I, i mean every teenage boy or girl that aware of the world's state is going to die. If not today, tomorrow and not tomorrow perhaps in years but we will die. Everyone does but WE will die without the chance of a future. Either it will be by our own hands or the rope that the past generations have hung around out necks for their money.
Be aware. Be kind to yourself in this world. Be the change that YOU need. Change and survive. Snuggle in this world and leave your mark. Live another day.
I'm going to go eat now. I hope I don't lose that privilege when i grow up if I'm able to grow up at all.
This world sucks and I hope it changes. If it doesn't, I'll change myself and make this world change with me. Hope I can do it and continue to dream of this.
Because the first thing I'm changing is my silence.
