I’m tired. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually. With the recent murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and now George Floyd. I’m tired of the disregard of black bodies. I’m tired of our humanity being constantly questioned, examined, and ultimately dismissed. I don’t know what to do or what happens next, but I know I will not beg anyone to recognize my humanity. I will not make any pleas to individuals or organizations that do not respect people that look like me. I’m tired of those of us with more melanin having to find solutions to a problem we never created. I refuse. I will not educate anyone on what’s happening, what has happened, and what seems will continue to happen. I mainly grow weary with my own thoughts on the world my children have to inhabit.
I am so sad that this kind of conduct goes on in our country. It isn’t right and I do not condone it. As a Christian, it makes me so sorry that some place no value on someone’s life, when our Savior valued us enough to die for a very imperfect me. We are all equally valued and precious in God’s sight, we should be important in each other’s sight. Please know that I stand beside you and your family against this heinous behavior, and always will.
