Speaking Out

 I know. I'm shallow.

I'm not speaking up much right now. Maybe a few memes here and there.  

I haven't given up. I need to prioritize the musical I'm in right now.

I'm not afraid to speak out. I need to keep my head as clear as possible when I'm performing. Otherwise, I'll go onstage too fired up about a political discussion and fail to concentrate on my part.

The good news is that I'm not the only one speaking out.

Thre are people I know, who've been on the right side, but have in the past not spoken up much, who are now speaking out. My Facebook feeds are full of people who are tired of keeping quiet.

Unfortunately, I don't know of many converts—people who were with the orange conman, at least for voting purposes, but who are now willing to speak out against him.

At any rate, this is just a personal note to tell my most dedicated blog readers I haven't surrendered. Come March 17th, I will be speaking out again.

Hopefully, we'll still have a country left!
