Life is bigger, too bigger for me right now. Why is it that the "50 Shades" trilogy makes so much sense to me; that I see myself in Anna, Christian and his subbies? Why do I vainly hope for that good ending? Why do I inwardly "rage against the dying of the light"? I've been tasked with writing a letter, my final appeal to a group of men that I have little respect for, and further my friends ask me to not be insolent and sassy, and disrespectful. They tell me that even if this last effort fails, at least it will benefit those behind me. What should one do with a half dozen people who put you on a pedestal and ask you to perform a task that is a dozen shoe sizes larger than mine?
I am so stressed out right now that I would love to just end this existence, but it is clear that in doing that it would simply hurt others, and that is not acceptable to that "little blip" of goodness left within me.
To those who pray, I ask it. To those who do not, I simply ask for your good thoughts as I feel far too inadequate for this task.

You only have to ask.
Of course my hope and prayers are with you. "Do not go gentle into that good night." take heart and rise again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhop5VuLDIQ
I love the Music
Don't usually listen to that genre, but as a boater agree with the sentiment.

Not crazy, not insane, just human
Some jobs are too big for anyone, but need to be tacked anyhow. God bless those who try. (Changing bigots minds, for example)
Pedestals are dangerous places.
Insolence, sass and disrespect can be fun, but only widen divides. Save them for your characters.

The task feels far too large, but even the "faithful" that I know encourage me to say my piece. I'd given up, so finding the sass for one more try is hard, um without actually being sassy.

take it slow
but a suggestion or two?
write one line at a time then look it over ---then write one more ? it will come!
or write the real NASTY letter and keep it then clean it up of the rant and use that one? lol

Fighting for the right
And doing it without actually being combative, but steadfast.
Another suggestion
Write two versions, then choose between them, or use what you learned to write a third.
