(#6330) Primary election day in California!

      Most of us older Californians are aware of this but it seems that many in the age group of 18-34 are not as keen to the event today. Why I don't quite understand since what happens today is going to be a big determining factor of their futures. I don't really think it is apathy as much as it is understanding the significance of everything. The whole of politics can be confusing but it really isn't. All of us need to just allow our best instincts to guide our choices. We all do make choices whether we actively choose or just let our choices be made for us. It is always better to make your own choice as you are not just another cog in the wheel you are a real human being.
     Some of us can speak our minds about our choices and defend them whenever needed. Others are less sure so remain silent about our choices. Either to not vote or vote they would rather keep the choice a secret. I get that because for one no one likes to argue over politics. As well no one likes to lose friendships when in conflict with popular opinion. However, let me give some wisdom on that front. If your hopes and dreams are being downplayed out of a fear of losing friendships then that isn't a real friendship just more like a convenient one. If it breaks apart due to your choice that suits your pursuit of happiness then break it up!
     Not only have I given up friendships, I have given up family! Just because of relationships that have spanned some time are of value that does not mean they are relationships worth diluting our lives to keep. True friendships are not built on coercion, duress, or manipulation, they are built upon us being uniquely individual and respected as such. I always vote my heart and mind because it makes sense for me and in the bigger picture makes sense for every one else just trying to pursue no harm happiness. For those who disagree with me I accept that and move on without their company. Life is not what we are herded to do, life is us making it better for ourselves and the next generations; and for them to make it more perfect for the next generations after them.
