Take A Minute

Fed Up

I'm honestly sick of the society that we live in. We have gone so long dancing around the things that we have destroyed. Because we simply could not be bothered to be held accountable for the choices we have made. Most say we have lost our humanity, but I've started to believe that the ignorance that has been demonstrated time after time is a large part of what humanity is. Our Adoption/Foster system are so tragically broken. The amount of kids that are suffering in that system is sickening. The phrase "The children are the future" get tossed around so causally these days. But, I've never seen someone neglect their future as badly as we all have neglected them. I often say that I am incredibly unlucky. A statement that I have learned to be so terribly ungrateful. Because I am lucky, lucky that I was born into a family that has raised me well, and has loved me since before I was born. While there are kids in these systems that don't have the mental capability to realize that they haven't been handed the same. I also often think of my three younger siblings as unlucky, because they have been in the foster and adoption system. But, then I realize that they are considered the lucky ones. Because they were placed in the same home I have been in for almost 18 years. While there are so many kids who were placed in homes where they are used, beaten, and neglected. When these homes are supposed to be "safe" Ignorance is NOT always bliss. Ignorance is denial.
