What is happening in the world?

Hi Guys!

Long time, no blogging!! I wish I had an excuse, but not really...I guess i've been a bit uninspired about what to write about lately! For a couple of weeks I just wanted a break from blogging but I guess I just couldn't think what to write about for a long time after that. My life's been continuing as normal but over the last couple of months I kind of feel like the world has been turned upside down...

My first voting experience was a complete and uter disaster...! I felt proud to go and vote for what I believed in - remaining in the EU. While I knew the polls were close, I had faith that we would vote to remain in the EU. However, this faith crumbled when I woke up the next morning and checked the news. I was full of disbelief. I had never been so ashamed to be British. To me, being a part of the EU represents a unity of countries and people. It's holding out a hand of support and friendship. With the decision to leave the EU, I felt like we withdrew our hands.

I didn't think I'd feel so disappointed again in a long time. Sadly I was wrong. A week ago, America voted to make Donald Trump president. A man with no qualifications or experience in politics. A man who is not only racist and sexist but has also openly admitted to touching women inappropriately. A man who doesn't pay his taxes, believes global warming is a hoax and doesn't understand the term 'kindness'. I now know for a fact that I will never feel this disappointed again.

And how are we allowing the situation in Syria to continue? Russia and America feel it's appropriate to bomb innocent people, including children. People everywhere also believe refugees shouldn't be allowed into our country. They would rather leave innocent children to die.

Where has humanity gone?

I have lost nearly all faith in humankind. I hate that we're living in a world so cruel. I hate that we're giving power hungry men such as Donald Trump the chance to hold so much power in their hands. The only positive thing I can take from all of this is that I have found something to write about again...
