sometimes i have to make the choice not to engage deeply with violent Black deaths.

it's not that i don't care.

it's not that i always make that choice either.

but sometimes acknowledgment is all i can bear. i can't allow my self to feel that collective pain. it's very deep and i don't ever want to be consumed like i was in 2015 ever again. it feels like drowning.

@superheroine I hear you and I feel you. You aren't alone.
@superheroine It is so painful and angering. I agree with you. I need to remain in the shallows and not go deep.
