I wasn’t able to find your song? It didn’t seem to come through at the end of this post? I am new to this platform, so I might just not understand where to look.

I’m an American who woke up breathing a bit easier on Wednesday morning. But only because I feel that what is to happen globally in the next few years will require the US to have a strong leader. I can say from living through many election cycles, it’s always the same with one side rejoicing and the other feeling it’s the end of the world. Obviously this is not the case. We have strayed so far away from our Founder’s original intent for a U.S. limited government experiment that where we are going as a nation is truly into the unknown. We’re all just going to have to let the tidal wave hit as it does and then find our places and roles as we move through and past it.

I can say though that I deeply feel what you are saying about the feeling of being naive in seeing beyond someone’s surface actions to who they are as simply another human. In fact it was your last post on Aquarian insight where you mentioned trying to think of someone or something that you hate to find what you are fighting for. And I found for the first time that I could not find anything that I hated. Even thinking back through history and prominent figures and movements. It’s almost like I can no longer tap into that feeling or emotion. Strange. But also really eye opening for myself.

Thanks for continuing to share your voice in anyone it comes through! Always gives me something to think about.

Hi Lauren! If you go into the post, in the app or in your browser, you'll see the talk at the top, then a little blurb I wrote and then at the bottom I embedded a video with the song which also displays the lyrics. Thank you so much for being interested in checking out my song.

I appreciate you so much for what you shared here. I feel the same way - change is a necessary part of growth and sometimes we need that tidal wave to truly be open to considering the unconsidered.

Thank you for the support, encouragement, interaction and exchange of ideas and experiences. ❤❤❤

I found it! Thank you! Holy cow, that’s crazy you made that with AI! Definitely proving a beneficial quality of this new technology. Moving lyrics. It has much more emotional impact as a song than a simple post. Love it! Really cool.

And it’s hard to break free alone, but each person that does is an example of how it can be done so others can learn and try for themselves. I feel like the time is now more than ever to try hard to be that example. You are definitely that in abundance!

Also thanks for introducing me to this platform with your move over here! I think I’ve found the key I’ve been looking for as a place to post a few stories that I write here and there that focus on the topic of freedom ☺️❤️

With love and much gratitude,

Lauren

Thank you so much for listening to the song and your beautiful comments. Music has definitely been a grounding practice for me lately.

I'm so glad you're enjoying this platform - I love it! I would love to read your stories when you post them and look forward to them.

I just posted the audio for a children’s book I wrote back in 2019 that I had briefly published and then lost touch with. It’s a simple story, but one I feel deeply for. Reconnecting with it recently, has re-opened the door to me getting out of my comfort zone to start sharing my writing again. And in new ways. Curious to see where it goes!

Wow, man, this so true. I am and should remember my position in my situation and the power I have others aren't always fortunate to have. I think I've noticed how caught up in my own situations, how I'm not showing up as I need to in my world, my family and for my friends. It's so insane how you're able to articulate how the hope in each other stemming from the fear and dissatisfaction of all of us. And I couldn't agree with you more, if a government is not assisting it's people, the government serves no real function. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, this was not only leveling in a grounding, healthy way, but it's moved me to feel more compassion in a time of despair.

Bless you, sweetheart and thank you, as always for your thoughts. I think we all get caught up in our own situations and it is natural to do so. But, as you said, our family, our friends, the people in our lives help bring us back to a more centred place, where we realise we are more than just what goes on inside of us. I appreciate you for your compassion - I think compassion will take us further than hatred, now more than ever. ❤❤❤
