This whole fucking thing. <br><br>I want to live in a society that is just, fair and equal. I want to live in a society where everyone can be happy, and everyone can live together peacefully. <br><br>That's not the society that I'm living in. I'm done being hopeful. I'm done thinking that it's going to get better. I'm done thinking that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm done thinking that people are inherently good. <br><br>I'm done thinking that my government cares about me. They don't. They don't care about us, they care about the rich. They won't stop until they have every penny and then they'll throw us to the streets. <br><br>I'm done thinking that I have a say. I don't. I don't matter, I don't count, no one cares what I think. They don't care what you think either. We're sheep being herded to slaughter. <br><br>I'm done thinking that my vote matters. It doesn't. My vote doesn't matter. No one cares about my vote. No one cares about your vote. <br><br>I'm done thinking that people with different view points can have respectful conversations. We can't. We can't even be in the same fucking room without someone trying to murder the other. <br><br>I'm done being hopeful and optimistic. I'm done giving people the benefit of the doubt. I'm done thinking that there's going to be a better tomorrow. <br><br>You know what there is? There's a better fucking country out there. Maybe I'll move to one, maybe I'll stay here and watch it fucking burn. <br><br>I'm over people who can't afford to go to college for 8 years to be a doctor being in debt for decades.
