I have this insane theory…. With that, I want to state I am not a writer on politics or religion; my point of writing is to alleviate the stigma of mental health and drug abuse. However, this is special, and I’ve had this feeling for a long time…

Call it a hunch or a conspiracy, BUT I personally think that there is a mostly “Gen X” underground “Revolution” in the making. My personal opinion is that I think very young and passionate revolutionaries are coming out of the Underground Web and have SILENT supporters beyond what we can understand. I, continuing off this theory, think we are about to see a very favored, Out of the Blue (pun intended) Presidential Candidate who has a strong chance of winning.

I, for one, think it is perfect and beautiful and am all for it. Mostly because it is about to rock the system in the best way possible. It can no longer be “vote for the least intrusive option” or “your vote is wasted if you don't go red or blue”… Hey! What a thought… research, listen, and learn about candidates. Make choices independently, not because the system asks you to. Be Smart. Be Wise, Be Important, AND Choose what you care about, not what society says to do.

If I am wrong, I am still putting myself out there and strongly asking for you to stop SETTLING when VOTING; PLEASE don’t vote for the best of two evils. If we get out of that mindset and vote with our hearts, our world will no longer be about red and blue, black and white, rainbow and neutral. It will just be okay.
