You know that feeling where you're about to cry, where your body tenses up and your eyes well up before the waterworks begin? That's me. But for the past few hours now.
We found out today that someone stole the license plate off my car. This is incredibly frustrating too because Blaire got a ticket not too long ago because our registration sticker was expired and we JUST got them done. And the moment they're done: our entire license plate is stolen.
I didn't mention this but two weeks ago my parents' cars was broken into. That and then this... I know it's just a license plate. But they stole it off my driveway. Something about the idea of someone deciding to commit a crime outside my home... It's driven me into a mad paranoia. Sure they stole these plates but what if they had decided to escalate? What if they broke into my home?
I got a neighborhood app a month ago and since then it's just been people constantly reporting thefts and burglaries. And now I became one of them. I already felt so unsafe in America. I grew up surrounded by gangs, living in shady areas, and I worked my ass off to live in a good quiet neighborhood only for this to happen...
I know it's just a license plate. And I know this could have been much worse. But I feel so unbelievably violated, sad, and angry. First my parents, now me...
There's no real purpose to writing this I just... Needed to write it. I needed to expel this out of me. I felt like if I didn't tell SOMEONE about it, I was going to lose my mind in despair. I was supposed to film all day today for our Patreon content and now I think if I even step in front of a camera I'm going to burst into tears.
I don't know man. It's been a day. I just wanted people to know that it happened.
Please be safe out there. For the love of everything look at EVERYTHING happening in the world; everywhere. Please be kind to people. Whether that is a friend, family member or stranger. Please be patient with that cashier who's maybe a bit slow. Please let's just all be good to each other.
