I feel like this now that I'm in Japan and I get to see how a nation that prides itself in a quiet harmony functions.
I oftentimes look back and wish that I never came here because when I go back to America, I'll never be the same.
It honestly hurts to see us divided and accepting mediocrity throughout our culture and society.
I want what they have for my people. The American people.
Why the fúck can't we have low-cost, quality healthcare? Why the fúck can't we have elite social programs for those in need? Why the fúck can't we have a peaceful society without the possibility of our kids getting shot the fúck up in class, a parking disagreement turning into a murder case? Why the fúck can't we have a government that actually tries to improve society?
I wish I were still blissfully ignorant.
