Everyone has a version of their self. My "version" of myself is distinctly apolitical, and I mean "political" in a literal community sense, like around a nation, geography or ideology.
That's my take on myself, or has been for a long long time.
And then in the recent few years, especially in the past 4 months, I have started becoming more and more political. I have views, I want to air them, but I shudder for two reasons. One - because the climate of safety just does not exist, its a virulent and angry climate - and two - because I don't know if I know enough - and am unsure wherein I should indulge in a dialogue....and I mean a real dialogue, one that furthers our understanding.
So for now, I am surprised at myself.
