I have a huge disdain for leftists, liberals, democrats, or whatever they are now. They seem to favor and obsess over radical social engineering, identity politics, and want to demonize or ostracize those who don't fall into their their woke nonsense. They are the type that cause you to lose your job or livelihood just because you used the wrong "pronoun". They are the ones who push for Critical Race Theory (CRT), DEI, and including schoolchildren in their wacko beliefs. They want to fund genital mutilation for kids and let illegal aliens roam freely without consequences. They want you to pay for abortions. They want you to foot the bill for migrants. Then, they want to throw the book at you if you are too persistent with women, claiming it is "harrassment" or "stalking" for staring more than a few seconds. These are crazy and rabid people who hate Christians and Jews but will roll out the red carpet for Muslims and anyone who isn't white.

Then you have the hard-core right, who loves police officers but shits on their firefighters and EMS personnel (at least here in my state). Fire and EMS is often treated second-class, is not considered much in legislation, and is disregarded in many situations. My state is one of only 10 that doesn't have enhanced penalties for assaulting a firefighter or EMT, but the recent "Back the Blue" Act enhanced these penalties for assaulting a cop, leaving out firefighters and EMTs with this legislation. 42 percent of fire departments in my state are classified by the state Fire Marshal's office as either "At-Risk" or "Distressed". There are no incentives for volunteers. There is no appeal process for sanctions against EMS personnel licenses, which can stem from a single complaint. My state also experiences an issue with hospital closures and infrastructure issues due to a large influx of new residents from out-of-state and lack of funding. The attitude of a lot of Republicans, sadly, is that if it doesn't affect them in the current mome

Of course, I reached that age threshold years ago. It feels weird knowing some of my peers already have kids in middle school or are high school teachers.

Of course, my adolescent years sucked, but sometimes I miss the days when I didn't have to be an adult. I miss the days when I had those "rose colored glasses" where I didn't see many of these adults' true colors and how shitty they or the world really is. I miss the days when I had more of a support system and was given the benefit of the doubt when I was naive or made a mistake.

I never had a girlfriend in middle school or high school anyways. I didn't meet the love of my life and my first real girlfriend until I was 29. This is one of the few positive events in my life that brought positivity to my adulthood. We are about to get married, and it will be our very first (and hopefully ONLY) marriage. Better late than never!
