Freedom

Getting out after seven years was like a dream. I had an apartment set up, a car for my ex, and a job set up for the both of us. We spent my first weekend out at a five star hotel Penthouse suite over Deerfield Beach. My first time seeing the ocean in seven years was priceless, as was taking a dump on a toilet without sitting on my shower slides. Freedom is something i always took for granted and in a way i think we all do. The little things are much bigger than you can imagine and the majority you don't notice until there gone.

I was never into politics growing up. I mean it was always quite obvious to me they were corrupt but to the extent I didn't know. I remember one day around fifteen saying to my parents " It seems like America hates American's". I'm not sure what subject it was on but I knew we were getting f***ed . If anything I was as liberal as you could be but I had common sense and I had street smarts I was also an atheist in my teens but the more I lived the more I found that not to be true. I was always the type of person that didn't believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes and I did. 

This was different and it  was obvious something had radically changed in the political landscape.

 Donald Trump was the president and the country was divided. I had to investigate and see what it was that I missed. So I started watching every news channel, comparing clips online, and learning how to use an I phone. The internet, and having the internet in the palm of our hand had dramatically changed the political landscape, dating world, perspectives and that was just the tip of the ice berg. 

Truth was blurry and there was all kinds of propaganda being pushed. My nephew became my niece and so did his entire friend group. There was an obvious fight for attention, and maybe even something more sinister. It seemed humans were hackable and didn't even realize yet.
