Sheepishly I return

OK everybody...I know you're thinking, "HOLY SH*T! She's still blogging?!?!" Once again, apologies. I would like to say that my wedding planning has been the entire reason for my complete lack of dedicated writing, but I would be lying. While it is a LARGE part of the reason, the main cause of my lapse is shame. I am ashamed that since my last post, I have done exactly what I was urging everyone not to do. Let me explain that it was not "slacktivism" that led me to my inactivity on the Kony 2012 issue, it was straight up disillusion. I started reading more on the issue and began questioning the motives of the organization and decided that I really do not support another military intervention in a foreign issue. This is not to say that I don't support any intervention, I would just like to hold onto hope that one day we will be able to make a difference without force. After the public meltdown of Invisible Childrens' co-founder Jason Russell, I decided I definately needed to look for a different option. Not that one mans actions should paint the picture for an entire movement, for me unfortunatly, it did. So I will search for some other way to make my difference and wish the best to those who will try to do the same. I still stand steadfastly by my urging to Donate, educate, activate. Doing something is always better than doing nothing.
