Product: Onward…
Notes From Georgia Hozey: “Our always loud, but peaceful home is so quiet lately. I hear the animals outside but I dont want to engage. My camera sits, learning opportunities await.... my teens hide away in their rooms. They want Karate, they want sleepovers.... they want normal. We argue fuss and fight at the drop of a hat. I blame it all on bad juju from the news. TikToc.Youtube.FB... MEDIA. As I was listening to Meg today in Onward, I felt so many emotions I could barely swallow, let alone breathe. It hit me that were it not for the internet.. the cell phone access I allowed, then I could protect my children mentally from all of the hate. the politics. They are hurting. I am hurting and also grieving my Mom who passed away. I am grieving the world my children are inheriting..... I just saw my girl... staring at that daggum cell phone.. crying one minute, laughing the next... worried the next.. teen depression... cell phones.... anger... depression.. sadness... anger.... She rides the same roller coaster that I do. So I wanted to show it somehow and this is what hit me.... so all that to explain because I dont want anyone to be offended at the image. I had to portray the seriousness of the bad juju our kids suck up from the cell phone / news etc. (thats why the gun- it is not necessarily literal....) She decides to FIGHT in the end........... and we are going to fight together. I hope this isnt all corny. I am so sleepy. Goodnight and Bless you”
