January 6th, 2021 (Political Problems)
So my mom just told me that Joe Biden actually won. (We were still waiting to see how the lawsuits turned out before saying Trump or Biden won.)
Congrats to those who wanted it this way. Super happy for ya.
But here's the problem: I can't stay here.
This isn't the America I was brought up in nor will it ever be. I can't live seeing this democracy turn communist.
I'm broken on the inside. America was such a big part of my identity in a way. I'm supposed to be that fun-loving, obnoxious American. Now, I'm rejecting this country and I feel....
hurt.
It's sad that I can only explain it that way, but that's all I can do.
America was the complete opposite of the Soviet Union the last time I checked. Now, it's slowly repeating Soviet Union's history. (Way different, but I can see some comparisons.)
They say this is what the people want. The people think they want the same amount of money and food that everyone else gets, but I think the people will figure out that they don't want it at all.
Some will read this and say I'm exaggerating.
I might be. Maybe Joe Biden won't change the fabric of America as much as I imagine.
I don't want to stay here though.
My mother just told me a story about someone (I think the government? She never said.) shooting an unarmed woman near the White House for being a Trump supporter. Mom said she was just walking, but that doesn't make sense. Why shoot her? How could they know she was a Trump supporter?
I don't trust the media anyway, so I'm not even sure if this story is true.
It's enough to make me want to leave this country though.
It's corrupt.
The only way I'm staying is if enough of us form together and overpower the government, but I don't think that will ever actually happen.
I'm honest-to-goodness moving to Canada. I will start my college education with or without my family's support.
I might move back one day if I see America changing back into it's old self, but for now I'm out.
I'm either fighting for my America or running straight past the border of Canada.
I'm changing my profile, shortly. I can't have a country I no longer believe in as my profile.
It's the craziest, most depressing feeling I ever felt in my life.
Like the road I live on isn't the way to my home anymore. I'm mentally homeless. It's like I believe in something that no one even approves of anymore.
It's lonely and heartbreaking.
Hopefully Canada can become my new home. If not, I'm guess I'll make my home on Wattpad. That sounds so sad, but what else can I do.
I will miss Mississippi with all my heart, but in reality I will only be missing its memory.
2021 isn't any better than 2020 in my opinion.
I can't think of a way to wrap this up...
Maybe I should say: "See you on the other side."
But what's on the other side of something you're escaping from. Is it really freedom or is it just a misconception that you made to comfort yourself?
