Should I be Guilty? Nah

There is a part of me that thinks I should take up my time on this blog writing about things that matter. Topics like race relations and US tendencies to hold a double standard of judgement when it comes to Muslim Americans (in relation to the minority of terrorists in the world) and gun control. Or even to write about current events and just respond to them in a critical and well thought out manner. 

SOMETHING to contribute to the conversations that are happening in the United States currently But then I remember that the most views I've had in one day was five people, so it's not like I have anything close to a soapbox to stand on for people to listen to me. I literally go to school and barely talk to people right now (to my dismay!), so in reality I'm not squandering an opportunity to be heard. It's not like I'm Kylie Jenner who wastes her position as a person who uses cultural appropriation of black culture to be considered desirable, and then does nothing does to defend the beauty of the culture she is taking advantage of.

So I guess right now, in a weird way I am grateful for the lack of relevance in my blog. It affords me the chance to just write about my life and not have anyone comment on it. So thanks everyone for not paying attention to this blog! Most don't even know about it, and, right now, I like it that way.
