Time to Vote but Vote YOUR
Truth
It's voting season. It's the time of year that millions of
people have been waiting for. Like 4 years ago, everyone was telling you to get
out and vote, trying to persuade you to a particular party, swamping you with
votes in the mail, phone calls and even Social Media platforms has become a
place of persuasion. Yes, it's the time to vote and yes, it's important to vote
and it is necessary to vote during this season. However, you should vote YOUR truth.
What does it mean to vote your truth?
Voting your truth is voting for the candidate that YOU feel is most qualified to be in
office with YOUR valid
reasons. Remember, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just like your
opinion, other people opinions don’t really matter, (if you don't allow it).
Voting your truth is your time to make your voice heard in the voting polls.
And if you feel you've made the wrong choice a couple of years within the
politician's term, guess what, you're not the first who may feel like that.
There are so many people who feel they made a wrong choice, be it they voted
Republican or Democrat. Voting and picking sides is like playing Russian
Roulette. You don't know what may come out of it after the person is sworn into
office. The most important thing you can do is vote who YOU feel is best. Don't become
persuaded or beaten down by the voices of other voters. Listen to your own
voice. Stand up for what you believe in.
I have friends from both sides of the party, black and
white. My views, thoughts and feelings doesn't change about them and neither
has theirs concerning mine. How is that possible? It's called respect. We
respect each other's opinions and decisions when it comes down to voting. As
friends, we engage in mutual and civilize dialogue about the running
candidates. We listen and try to understand why the other person feel that
their candidate is best in office. Notice the words "listen and try to
understand". Yelling, raising your voice, and becoming disrespectful
will not get your voice and reasons heard. When you speak calmly, rationally,
and respectfully, there is a chance you and the other person can try to
understand each other's views.
Emotions are high right now, with the climate of racial
injustice that has been going on for hundreds of years, loss of jobs, loss of
loved ones due to Covid or other related illnesses, and remote learning for all
schools, etc. Because of all of this, no one is trying to hear what anybody has
to say. Just focus on what and who you feel is best. Block out the noise. Block
out the persuasions. Block them all out and vote YOUR voice….
