I feel my peace, my happiness in nature. The magical sunsets, the starlit nights. I love to just stand in the rain and feel that mystical material that is the basis for all life just fill my being. I love to gaze at the intricate beauty of flowers. I love to dream of unicorns. I love to watch the birds and imagine that I can ride the wind like they can. I love to talk to people who are passionate about something. I love to feel that fire in their being, that determination. I love to be with my family, with my friends, there's such an overwhelming sense of love and support.
But at the same time, there are so many bad things and people in the world. It makes me so sad when I see the schools suffer and hear the governor continually repeat, "We don't have any money." And then turn around and say that we have millions of dollars for the Patriots to come to Hartford or make plans for a huge mall that's supposed to "revitalize" Hartford. If he really wanted to revitalize Hartford he would stop neglecting the people who live there, give them a decent education, stop cutting jobs, and then stop bitching about crime when your cutting welfare more than ever and leaving people with the choice between starving or stealing. This makes me sad. EAI* making a profit off of the education of Hartford children, four men kidnapping robbing and brutally murdering Matthew Shepherd because he's gay, politicians ignoring anyone who makes under $100,000 a year, our governor spending taxpayer money to pay for scabs and the national guard to crush the health care strike, we're probably going to blow up the world with our nuclear weapons before we'll have to worry about any natural disasters like global warming, wars come first and talking second. these are all things in this world that sadden me, that make me cry and make me want to run through the streets screaming until someone will hear.
*EAI was a private, profit-driven company that wanted to run the public school system and came very close to total control of the Hartford School System aproximately 9 years ago when I was attending 2nd grade in Hartford. But before they were finally gotten rid of they managed to gain millions of dollars for themselves which had been originally ment to go towards the education of Hartford Children.
