Fall Reflections

 Today marks a change in the season; summer to fall. As I walked up the hill to my house, I was overcome by a sense of melancholy so strong. Distraught I kept my head low and silently called for freedom from the present. This blog has been inactive for a large part of the summer, and I regret now my inactivity. Since the inception of LWR I've grown up, but in some ways my day to day feels duller and heavier. This past summer has taken its toll on me emotionally. I'm a wreck, and I can't breathe sometimes from the
weight of indecisions. 

Having said that, how could I take charge, be a leader for others, when I haven't been able to lead myself? I keep walking forwards every day, but I don't know which direction these steps are taking me. I'm not proud or ashamed, it's just been the reality, that joy doesn't show up as quickly or steadily, and criticism arrives before curiosity...

I'm now going to share a number of thoughts I've had this summer:

- Hybrid drivers are more likely to use condoms. I support hybrids and electric vehicles, but this is undeniable

- Covid did a lot more damage then we give it credit for. Although I supported masking, I think ultimately it gave the government leverage to press the condom agenda and for it to be more widely accepted. This paradigm shift after 2020 was catastrophic for the freedom movement. Again, I do not think covid was on purpose, but how it has been used is devastating 

- Arousal is important for adult development and growth
