I Can’t Just Move On

There’s a picture of me on the beach, sitting in the sand with my little one. To most people, it looks peaceful. But the truth is, my mind isn’t peaceful at all. It’s heavy. It’s racing.

Since Charlie Kirk made those comments, it’s been the only thing I can think about. People keep telling me, “Post about it once or twice and then move on.” But how do you move on when something shakes you this deeply? How do you just carry on like nothing happened?

I can’t.

I’m still in shock. My heart hurts. And I won’t pretend it doesn’t.

So yes, my posts may feel repetitive. Yes, I’m talking about it a lot. But that’s because it’s real. That’s because it’s raw. And that’s because I refuse to just bury my feelings for the sake of keeping my feed “light” or “pretty.”

If you want to unfollow me, go ahead. But if you stay, know this: I’m going to keep speaking my truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially when it’s uncomfortable.

Because silence? That’s not an option for me. Not now. Not ever.
