What if there was a Tinder for Truth?

The state of this country, and our political election today, is less a reflection of the candidates themselves than it is a commentary on the people of America. Our candidates would not have the support they've gathered, if our country did not see a reflection of itself, first in them.

Instead of being profusely educated on matters pertaining to our country and world, I have been fed mindless Buzzfeed articles and busywork and even worse, politically slanted media that still withholds truths and facts. More than lies, we are fed distractions. Truth is something we cannot expect to be handed to us, we must seek it out for ourselves.

Which is why I am profusely imploring support from my fellow millennials, particularly those entering their twenties like I am, to join me in a quest for truth. For social awareness. For conscious living.

As a voter living in the free world, I am just as responsible for the state of our national security, our clean drinking water, our economic policies, our access to education, our foreign aid, the food we are fed, the chemicals we are exposed to.

With truth, comes it's burden. The burden to share, and the burden to act. But this burden is one I would gladly carry. Ignorance is not bliss. It is numbness. And I would rather seek to understand the sorrows and burdens of the world, and fix them. Then blindly swipe right to a future of starvation, drought, unemployment, and war.
