Creo que en este tiempo todos hemos experimentado emociones muy fuertes. De dolor de pérdida, de impotencia de frustración. Me duelen las muertes en cualquier circunstancia, aquellas impredecibles por la pandemia que ocurren todos los días de manera incontrolable. Aquellas de los seres que amas, que te tocan cuando llega el momento. Pero creo no hay peor dolor que aquellas que están relacionadas con el racismo, la desaparición forzada de personas o las producto de feminicidios. Esas me duelen porque no alcanzo a entender la deformación, la insensibilidad y la miseria humana.

I am feeling so full of emotions and they all feel so big right now.

But I think I am mostly feeling angry:

Angry at the injustice.

Angry that the world is having what I feel are the same race discussions as before I was born.

Angry at leadership in this country.

Angry at my white fore fathers, my own father... at how they think and how their thinking influenced my upbringing.

Angry at being white.

Angry at my guilt and how is plunges me into denial and makes me feel stuck.

Angry at rioters.

Angry at police.

Angry at All Lives Matter:

Angry that I feel sad and useless in such a big Important movement.

After all the anger I feel wiped out and sad. Desperate for meaning to emerge from this all.
