12. Yes. I've been in the same boat

May 2019

and feel lucky to have a roof over my head. I guess I didn't include my understanding of why those who are not political junkies have little honest input in their lives.

I spent a lot of years with almost zero knowledge of what was really going on in our world and country. Even a shitty marriage that gave me the luxury of watching prime time TV had little influence on my understanding. So, I totally understand the why of it as I have lived it. I don't understand the how (to-make-it-better) of it.

I'm sorry if I diminished the circumstances of where people find themselves in this moment.
