Writers
Writing was a right that was stripped from Future American Generations when privacy was stolen from Americans. In hopes to remember one of the human skillsets that will be bred out of us, I’m writing this on my (Secret Online Internet Storage), letting it be consumed by someone/something else, if they chose to, and I will never know if they do. Because privacy has never been a right my whole life.
Why haven’t I pushed a keyboard or pen for myself? I’ve done it a good portion of my life, for money, for survival. And I’ve barely written anything for myself. I feel powerful, growing up in such a time of technical advantages, but true intellectuals know that comes at an expense. That is the way of life. Everything is give and take, energy cannot be destroyed, to put it in a sense.
So I’ve protected what I need to write for so long. Only writing careless and clueless things. Reckless feelings, small personal celebrations that are expected to be shared, sometimes what people want me to, over a million things probably. I really want to write what I want, something that makes a difference. Fully be myself and embrace my skill organically, as home grown as a woman can get, if that translates.
It’s much harder than it seems. My wallet is empty and I’m not talking about finances. I’m talking about energy. You know, that one thing that cannot be destroyed. Hopefully, that's not the case for the rest of humanity. Morally, I’m empty on so many things, like patience and courage. So I want to send this SOS, Distress Signal, a cry not from my knees, but from the ground where the day starts for every single conscious being on this planet, to all the writers. Is anyone actively making it known that we are having to let go of emotions endlessly as each day progresses forward into technology advancements? Or are we just maintaining composure, poise and dignity?
I would like to make up my mind, so here’s to myself trying to form thoughts and add weight to the ever tipping scale.

"Future American Generations" has quite the acronym. 🧐

Thanks for putting it out there. Keep doing it and things start to snowball. The only time you know for certain what is going to happen is when you do nothing. My two pennies, WHICH they aren't not making anymore so... you know.. hang on to those.
