Although I don’t really know much about what governments really are, leaving a union sounds like a pretty big deal. Twig here, and in light of recent events, have moved to write about a more slow event that is more bittersweet than anything. The move for what you humans have named Brexit has finally come for the people of the UK, and their leave from the community of Europe is a little saddening to see. It seems like everyone knew that it would arrive, but now that it’s here, no one really knows how to move forward about it. It seems like an final split between friends, where even though they say they will stay in close touch, it won’t ever be the same. Well i guess in this case it can’t.
From what I’ve read this was supposed to have happened years ago, but the resistance of both the people in power and the citizens were so heavily divided on the case that it wasn’t able to pass for many years. Now that it has finally passed, many former citizens from both sides now have to move back to where they are from, even though they have already made their lives where they are. And other countries now have to start all over with the United Kingdom. Everyone is a little lost as to what do do now, and i think it will be that way for some time. Adjusting to independence may look fun, but from what I think, it will become more lonely as time passes on. All the power that they will feel will only be temporary, and soon the citizens would like to visit their friends and family in the Union, only to see they shut themselves out.
And the Union is handling this in their own way too. Now more than ever, they are talking about the togetherness of their countries, and their ties more as a tight group. Almost like a family, this will sting for a while, but will bring them closer at the same time. They still want to talk with the UK with good promises and deals, but both already know it won’t be the same as before. Some people in the UK are still pushing that they will reunite with the Union in the future, and even though I don’t really know if that will happen, it is nice to think about.
For me, I am beginning to think that maybe I am alone, and unlike these countries, there may not be somewhere to return to, or others like me to seek out anymore. Maybe I am wrong, but after so long of looking, and getting tired of being lead nowhere, my I have to say my hopes aren’t as high as I would like them to be. But that does not mean that it is pointless to keep looking, just that I may be a little lost at the moment. Thanks for reading, I will find my way soon.
