Today I sent e-mails to all the organizations I know I’m a member of, telling them that I’m leaving. I’ve been having mixed feelings about organizations for a while now, but when my Higher Self told me that being a member of these organization was not only not aligned with, but even detrimental to my soul’s Highest Path and Purpose, I decided to leave. According to my HS, there are organizations that are aligned to be a member of, but I have yet to find any.

It was very weird to send the e-mail to Norsk Målungdom and Miljøpartiet Dei Grøne, because  those were my favourite organizations, and NMU was my first serious one. I still agree with the organizations. I want everyone in Norway to choose Nynorsk over Norskdansk, even though there are some evil plans that intend to ruin Nynorsk once and for all – that’s how I see it, anyway. Even though voting in elections is not aligned with my soul’s HPP, it’s not detrimental either, so I will still vote for MDG. And of course I’ll still wear the T-shirts. :)

I have decided to limit my political actions – it isn’t good for me. I’ve been feeling that I have a responsibility for doing politics, or else the world will go to hell, but now I’ve realized something: if I do politics motivated by fear, that’s not much better. Sure, I care about the rest of the world, but the main reason for doing politics was fear for my own future.

I started getting interested in politics about three years ago, when I swiched from writing Norwegian Danish to writing real Norwegian. I became a member of Norsk Målungdom, and after some time there decided I wanted to pick a political party. I only knew of the biggest ones, so I felt the best party would be “Sosialistisk Venstreparti” (lit. “Socialist Left Party”). Then I learned that there is actually a much better party – “Miljøpartiet Dei Grøne” (lit. “The Environmental Party the Green Ones”). I was glad to learn about this party, and I agreed with everything in the program. I joined it about a year ago, determined to do what I could for the future.

The election is now over, and the party tripled its amount of votes in four years. I think it’s because it’s getting more visible, and people actually get to know it exists. As for me, doing politics sucks the energy right out of me. I might help out next election too, but until then, I want to do little to no politics officially. The only problem is that I have an official spot in the youth organization, although only as a substitute. They’ll probably do fine without me. When I’ve no energy left, I get into “don’t do anything and say “told you so” when the world goes to hell” mode, so I’d rather not waste it.

I have had more luck “converting” people in private life, so I’ll just keep doing that. MDG will keep growing. They don’t need my help with that. The future is green! :)
