I have issues..

What the hell is wrong with me?
Today has just been one of those days. I got up this morning and I kind of wish thag I didn't. Nothing particularly bad happened. I was just so angry the whole day. Angry at the shopkeeper in the shop near my school, angry at my classmates for just being there, angry at my teachers for giving me my results, angry at myself, angry at society.
Today has just been an off day for me. For some reason, the whole #stopkoby campaign really annoyed me today. I was just so annoyed in school. Everyone was talking about it, but they didn't have a clue what it was. I'm sickened by the people on facebook, who share a video and think they're righteous social activists. I'm just really cynical and angry today. Normally I agree with ANY kind of activism.
But today, it annoys me. It annoys me because a twitter RT isn't going to change a thing. I don't mind people raising awareness. I'm all for that. It just pisses me off when people think their tweet will topple a rebel leader. Joseph Kony has been active for years.

His group, The Lord's Resistence army, has systematically butchered, raped and kidnapped innocent people. What annoys me is that I watched a video two years ago that made me cry. The first proper video that made me weep. It was a victim of the LRA, a fourteen girl who had been raped. She was stabbed and was dying. I saw her die in that video. What annoys me is that these twitter RT's and Facebook shares are a fad. What annoys me is that people don't think about the individual people involved. I'm just frightened that the girl in that video doesn't really matter in all of this. A campaign of slogans, not of people: "Stop Kony", "be the change", "Kony 2012".

I'm probably just being cynical because my head is all about the place. I hope that I'm wrong. I hope that this isn't just a twitter fad. I hope people actually think more deeply into it. I hope that they actually care.
