A Million Thoughts

a million thoughts
june 27th, 2022
trigger warning: current events 
I've taken the last few days to process a million thoughts, and situations both professionally and personally that have happened, and I feel as if I have a few things to say about it. The problem is, I wish I could snap my fingers and just make the biggest event a bad nightmare that we woe up from instead of women's new reality.

Thomas planned one of the cutest things for our one-year wedding anniversary, we went and renewed our vows in Aspen, except we did it more in jeans and a shirt. He wore such a gorgeous black suit and packed me a black shirt and pants, we looked so adorable. Marrying him again made me feel as if I was in my twenties, and for five minutes we weren't worldwide rockstars. We were just two people who are head over heels in love with each other that just want to spend the rest of their lives together -- and that's exactly what we plan on doing. Ironically, also on my wedding anniversary, 'Dreams' made it to one billion streams on Spotify and I thought of two things. One - Benny is probably at least 500,00 streams of that given his love for the song, and two - it's a bit ironic it went to a billion on my wedding anniversary to Thomas. Poetic justice is what I said, and none of the band even texted or called me about it. Not to sound cocky or anything, but I wrote the song how many years ago and it's still relevant? I'm just saying, a simple message from one of them would've been nice, but I digress.

I've had many people ask my opinion on the overturn of Roe vs Wade, and if I have to spend the rest of my life in jail defending my rights as a woman, as well as my children and grandchildren's rights, then I will. I want people to know this is only the start, and that Roe vs Wade is overturned only leads to them going after other laws and trying to overturn them. Hell, one of the judges even said he wants to revisit same-sex marriage being legal and someone suggested going back to where everything is segregated and it's supposed to be okay?

I've only been public about my one abortion because Don exposed me to the public about it, but that's another topic for another time, but for my generation to fight the way we did to get these things into law and get things like segregated ended just for the world to go back 50 years is disgusting. To think my youngest daughter might not be able to marry a woman she loves because people want to say same-sex marriages are an abomination is disgusting. Will and Adria both have children that aren't white, are you going to say they can't be with their children if they bring segregation back because of the color of their skin? It's sickening, it's disgusting, and the fact you can't do anything in this country unless you're a rich white man is disgusting. I remember Jane Fonda getting arrested during a protest, that's going to end up being me and Thomas already said he'd bail me out.

There's apparently a documentary on HBO Max called The Janes, it's about my generation and Roe vs Wade becoming law and I think I'm going to check it out. In the meantime, I'm going to tell my daughters to do whatever they need to do so they can protect themselves, go to every peaceful protest they can, and use their voices [and their last names if they need to] to try to make a stand. This isn't the end, and these last three generations have proven they're not just going to sit back and let the government do whatever they want to do with our bodies. The calm before the storm is over, and the storm is going to be interesting.

Stevie.
