Why are we fighting a flag?

I obviously know about the battle over the confederate flag.  I haven't posted my opinion but finally decided it was time.  

People are split over wether or not the confederate flag needs to be removed.  I say, " I DON'T GIVE A CRAP".   The flag is an inanimate object for crying out loud.  Yes it is a symbol of racism and slavery people might say.

 But has anyone actually stopped to think about how there is still the actual racism in our country?

Maybe if we stopped fighting over a flag and actually put our complete force into stopping and changing the racism behind it; maybe the flag will eventually become a sad symbol of the past.

I don't like comparing this but I will anyways. People walk through the holocaust museum completely quiet and somber.  Whenever we think about what happened then we are completely baffled and can't comprehend why it happened.   Well I hope that in the future, we can walk by a confederate flag and think, "Why did this ever happen?" and most importantly, "I'm glad racism is no longer a think".

Instead people walk by the flag and are angry at this object when there could be people right behind it being racist.  All I can imagine when people are fighting to take the flag down is people yelling at a flag and completely ignoring the KKK member standing next to it, or a crowd of people arguing over a flag while ignoring someone who just got discriminated against.

Fighting a flag won't stop racism.  So what happens after the flag gets taken down?  If the flag is there or not, there will be racism non the less. Nothing will change unless we fight the racism behind it.

Anxiety

This unknown anxiety has snuck up on me and has grabbed ahold.   I don't know why I'm anxious...but I am. I just have the urge to stop, and avoid everything. I just want to run.   I know it's not practical, but running from the stressor seems like my only option. I've tried relaxing, meditating, and just ignoring it but nothing keeps it away. I feel trapped in this anxiety bubble.  If I ignore it, I stay anxious..but if I give in, I'll feel like crap for doing so.. It's the double edged sword of anxiety my

My Aura

It started suddenly I think when the center of my vision started to alter itself.   Its definitely is an aura.   Its hard to describe but it’s a single circle in the center of my vision.   When looking at text.   It's almost like it covers the words. The center of the circle doesn't appear to be much but it's the border outside that I can see pixelating small-ly it's almost like a TV screen and the colors in an old TV screen going really fast back and forth and those things when looking at words cover up the words I can see in the center of the circle but on the border is where it covers up the words so it confuses me and it alters my vision. I don't know how long it's been going on for but I noticed it when playing a video game I notice that my vision started to alter bed when closing my eyes it can see a distinct part at the bottom lines almost like a TV static when there's lines going through it and they can't get connection like those constantly th

Migraine aura

A migraine aura is a strange thing.  You are doing your normal daily stuff and then you start feeling weird.  For me I have mild visual disturbances.  Today its my right eye.  During this aura my thought pattern is affected.  I'll be doing something simple and ill question myself for just a second. Its unknown how long this aura will last before tge pain starts.  Right now I have gone and got my emergency migraine meds. Most of my migraines don't have auras.  But the worst ones do. Usually i may have silent migraines.  All of a sudden I'll just stop and it feels as though I can't think clearly.  I will stand still until I remember or am reminded of what I need to do.  I have to sign off here.. My migraine coming.
