Day 23: I cannot sit in silence anymore. For joy to exist, I need to speak out.

This piece is a little different than the pieces I have been writing in my 30 days of how to live in joy. I have been writing for many days about how to find joy at home during this pandemic. I always am able to find the joy. However, in light of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis I have to speak about my sorrow, the unimaginable pain that is being felt by so many over his tragic death. I am always one to feel things very deeply, to take time to process them and many times I cannot find the words to speak up about them. This time I cannot stay silent.

For me to find joy in my heart I must have empathy. I have deep empathy for the terrible loss of George Floyd as a human being. No human being deserves to suffer in this way.

I am recognizing that many times I have stayed silent on so many instances of violence. As an empath, I feel very deeply every one of these tragedies. However, now is the time to speak out. Now is the time to voice how I feel. Now is the time, as a white woman to say that I need to speak out. I need to learn more. I need to do more. This cannot keep happening. This has to stop.
