First thing
You should know about me is that I’m a crazy person. Not clinical... just unconventional.
I feel inclined to divulge a whole bunch about myself to give context to what I really want to tell you. I realize because I am so unconventional that any details about myself would be a distraction and not serve justice to those whose stories I am here to share with you.
I live in the United States, so what do I even know about justice in the first place. Fair. Nothing is fair.
I dedicate this blog to the memory of those whom I’ve lost along the way. When they left they both took apart of me that I know now that I will never get back.
My husband told me a quote that his father told him by i don’t know who that goes, “Home is a place that you can’t quite ever leave but also you can never go back ”
These writings will criticize the following:
Capitalism
The Justice System
Insurance Companies
The Human Condition
This Tumblr Account is named thetragicside so I promise you if it doesn’t make you uncomfortable, angry, or appreciate what you have... then please let me be delusional and believe that it is just as significant as I believe it to be. A true story of hope and tragedy.
Just to be clear this isn’t a document depicting middle class nobodies succumbing to consequences caused by some stubborn personal flaw. These are remnants of what’s left of those who had faith in the American Dream.
I am very familiar with Antigone, Othello, and Plato’s Apology. I’ve played the Mother in Lorca’s Blood Wedding. I recognize what qualifies a tragedy and am here to tell you this is something more.
The major difference between those tragedies and ours is that no one could make up these events and have any sort of realistic expectation that any person would buy it.
This Story is about a woman who only knew how to follow the rules, and a young man that could do nothing to stop himself from breaking them.
To Gloria and Shawn May heaven exist for you both.
