It is currently Monday night after 10pm as I am writing this. I just finished styling my hair that I didn’t get a chance to do yesterday and making a cup of tea. I was just interacting with my son who is turning 15 this week. Like where did this come from? He is growing up so fast and it is just crazy that just like yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital and wondering what next and now staring at this teenager who about be taller than me soon. I honestly just want to put him in a protective bubble and keep him there but I know he has to grow up and all but I hate this world is so cruel and mean. I don’t understand still why ignorant people are harassing the family of Nolan Wells because they want answers to what happened to their son. Any parent would if this happened but because this is a Black teen, it is an issue. His family deserves answers and justice for those responsible for his death.

What also is crazy to me is there are still lynchings in 2026. There have been reports of a few down south and it just breaks my heart because we do not hang ourselves from trees. I hope they get justice too because why? I just don’t understand why people still hate others that are different, why racism is still running wild and just everything that has been going on is a lot. We don’t know what is actually safe to eat and it is crazy to me. I just want a giant salad and because of this bacteria going around, I don’t trust any lettuce lol. It is affecting a lot of our everyday foods and it sucks. People are scared to eat certain things and don’t know what to do and just wants this to end so we can somewhat go back to normal. I just hate everything that is going currently, it is a lot and it can be heavy too.

That is all that I have for now and I need to break out my journal that I haven’t picked up in a while…actually since June which is bad. Hopefully you all are doing well and taking care of yourself.
