I'll start this by saying I still don't think this is the whole story, but with that being said…
As more and more information comes out about this Tyler Robinson shooter kid I can’t help but think about what makes a kid become this way?
His parents clearly tried...
He came from a loving home with parents still married. He had a few advantages that others would love to trade places for.
He had advantages in life.
So what happened…
It’s actually quite simple, he allowed himself to be a victim.
This is what happened.
He listened to the media and the lies that other people were the source of his pain.
Of his frustrations.
Of his lack of success or love or whatever he hated in himself.
We all have done this on some level...
That moment when you realize you don’t like the position you are in.
In that moment, you have a choice: change myself or blame others for the problems around me.
This kid determined that others were the reason he wasn’t happy with his life... He had to fix the injustices they caused in order to find happiness for himself.
He was so radicalized by this idea that he chose to murder another man rather than work on himself.
So who is to blame? The media?
Well, yeah, partially by making him believe he is a victim... Whoever let him believe that he is a victim, they are all partially to blame.
Last night, someone attacked me on Instagram because my friends and I hosted a birthday party, and we all shared a PowerPoint of our favorite conspiracy theories...
Even though there were 5-6 conspiracies posted on my story, this lady chose to tell me I was being a racist because one of the guests shared the conspiracy about Michelle Obama being a man.
Never mind that it wasn’t my presentation.
Never mind that whether Michelle Obama is a man or not has nothing to do with race...
This person CHOSE to make herself a victim and tried to spew that onto me.
I reminded her multiple times that she isn’t a victim and that she didn’t need to find offense where none was given.
(Also, hell of a presentation and there’s some pretty good evidence, but that’s not the point of this post!)
We don't experience the life we have, we experience the one we choose to focus on.
Tyler Robinson didn’t need to make himself a victim.
Neither did this lady.
None of us do.
And even if you are a victim of something terrible, how hard do you want to fight for that identity? Cause the truth is, even if it’s true, it doesn’t serve you.
My takeaway in all of this is, remind yourself daily that YOU control your life. People with much less have found ways to be happy.
Charlie Kirk isn’t your problem; my friends having fun and laughing about bullsh*t isn’t your problem.
Whatever we focus on, we feel... Never forget that.
Also, we should keep asking questions about this shooting... A lot of things are not adding up!!
I already know what my presentation for next year will be on!
