So Done With Politics And With Life

So I have been nice even though I DESPISE Trump and I keep my cool because I'm a lady and I try to act civil and kind. I simply discarded the topic because it is not worth getting upset over however I broke today and I feel like I need support.

Ever since the beginning of Trump's campagine I have been taking crap from people. Even someone I thought to be my friend. I say that because when I was a junior last year I had an Instagram account set on private so only my friends can see me. I only added people I really trusted. And so one day I am taking a selfie of me and my friend, both of us wearing a hijab. My caption was about love and compassion.

Then a few days later the tragic Paris bombings happened and I sent money over to help them. (I have an uncle who lives in Paris as a baker and he would be the one to donate the money directly.)

So I go online to my Instagram and I see the single most sickening thing ever. My picture. The one with MY picture in a hijab with my friend that was taken with pire intention was in my feed again. The difference?

The caption read: I condone ISIS. Someone who was a friend of mine figured out my password and wrote that.

To this day I am in therapy for this. I am NOT one of them and I LOVE everyone. Violence... hatred... the very concept of those emotions I cannot fathom. Even now I'm not angry at the world or at anyone. I'm hurt that a Christan woman and her Atheist friend with her Jewish husband can coexist but I cannot. I am just like you, but a little different.

My father is the son of a war refugee and the father of a Muslim Marine. Even he gets crap for being brown. I honestly cannot take the hateed in this world anymore.

I try and I try and I try to stay strong and I do not just end it all because God gave me this life and it is a blessing. But it is increasingly hard to believe in anything anymore... I just want it all to end already.
