I don’t really think we need to go into much detail concerning the Election.
Nor do I really want to.
Fact is, it happened.
The outcome was what it was.
And here we are now.
A lot of people are still processing. A lot of people are very, very unhappy. A lot of people are batshit terrified. And a lot of people are expecting the absolute worst.
Me? I’m hanging in there.
I was not surprised, let me put it that way. Shocked? Yes. Numb? Yes. Anxious to the point of not eating? Very much so. But not surprised.
I did break down at one point the very next day, thoroughly exhausted and worried about a lot of different things. But right now, I’m standing. I’m doing what I need to do.
I’m hanging in there.
Which is what we’re gonna have to do if we’re going to weather these next 2-4 years. Reach out. Band together. Hang in there.
I know that we’ll get through this.
Side note: I feel kind of weird that I am okay, especially when seeing other people still processing and still breaking down. Kind of makes me feel like I should be worse.
But I’m just not. I went numb for a bit, got super anxious, had issues with eating and pulling myself together – but I’m upright again. Not complaining – I’ll take it.
