Age is a privilege. To live past 18, 21, 30, 10, 5, 3, 1, is a privilege. Use that to fight for better worlds for those who didn't get to live as long as you, because the loss of life matters. I fight for a world where other kids don't have to go through the same shit I went through. No one should come from a broken home but distressingly, this world is set up to break homes and family and humanity. It's set to kill age which is why we must protect the youth, the kids, always. I remain steadfast in my belief that there's others out there who want to build this better world with me.
Intergenerational relationships are important to thoughtfully build. I hope to always remember that my contribution is to lift up the other young people in the world so they can live long and do amazing things. At 24, I feel that to organize means to be conscious of yourself and how you can relate to others, and age is important when interacting on a social level. People from different ages do think differently in ways that must be communicated and articulated, not just taken for granted understanding. The year is 2025, the outwardly genocidal American empire assaults the world every day every second, but somehow it gets worse even though it already feels infinitely horrible. We must act, and others study history while others take action in the present to affect the present. History is important of course but I think lesser emphasized somehow is how much the state of the current world MATTERS. That becomes history but it's important before it becomes history too. I work hard every day, think strategically and tactically about how to make the world better. We are living in the 21st Century. My goal when it comes to "activism" aka caring about the world is to make people see things the way I see them. I really think my brain is on sometimes, that I'm understanding shit on different new levels. Maybe one day someone will recognize that.

It is so much more rewarding, satisfying, fulfilling with goodness, to have an animal relax under your touch rather than cower in fear. Animal abuse is incomprehensible to me. It is sadistic in a bad way. and personally I believe there are good ways to be sadistic and life is better pursuing those routes. People want pain but there is no reason or instinct strong enough to torture animals for that pain.
I've been taking care of dogs for the last year and I've had the love of putting animals to sleep with my touch, feeling them relax and enjoy my petting. I've had adult and senior dogs show their belly to me, which is so heartwarming because that tendency typically fades with age, but can come out with trust and love. I truly love dogs because I connected with them as a child, or maybe I connected with them because I love them. I have a photograph of me at 3 jumping and grinning and playing with one of my grandma's dachshunds, and I actually remember that pure joy of jumping around with a lovey dog playing with his toy. I feel that glee with the dogs I walk too, when it's rainy outside and we play indoors to finish our time together. I love feeling my feelings and joy is something so fundamental to humanity it is something that makes life better, like good food and fresh water. We need it to live and thrive. Everyone should get to feel this feeling. The word sprog was given to me by this AI thing where you upload a selfie and it gives you a word that describes you. I'd never heard of it before but I kinda love it. It's slang for child which I know I am and it kinda sounds like sprig. It makes me think of tiny growing plants and I feel like a new little sprout.
In Squid Game season 3, the ground of Sky Squid Game is purposefully decorated with little sprouts and grass. Gi-hun is one of those sprouts, life coming out of death. The ground isn't barren. We can still grow. I feel like a new tree. I hope people want to grow me.
To be very real I haven't stopped crying all day. What a sorrowful world. We need weapons and I need science to do something. I have many ideas that come from science fiction and fantasy but nothing concrete obviously. I've been trying to figure out my place in fighting and revolution but I have no idea who I am. Do I do science? Do I infiltrate with my knowledge or try to be the other side with the limited resources I have? Do I serve with a smile and a knife behind my back? Do I write and inspire others? Should I be in the spotlight or the background? Should I make more text posters or try to draw the better world I envision, abstract as it is? Do I hand-write myself into the world or keep my page out of the book? What do I do? I swear I think about death and every day and given the right opponent I would crush them. But I'm not in the rooms I would need to be in.
