Since it& #39;s oh dark thirty, I can lay this out without fear of repercussions.
I woke up Friday feeling squishy. Chalked it up to my partner about to start shark week.
Listened to @PantsuitPolitic Friday episode where all the listeners just wrote in about how they& #39;re doing.

I was mostly ok until the last few. I finished. Walked into our home office, told the woman I was probably gonna cry at some point.
5 minutes later I was sniffling and snotty. This is if merit because I think the last time I cried was 2016.
I cried on and off all day.

A good friend helped me identify what it was. Grief.
I had finally broken my internal dam of silence and coping. My usual method is to take anything that will make me emote and put it in a box until it& #39;s convenient to process.

Only, Covid 19 ain& #39;t let up yet. There hasn& #39;t been time yet. Apparently my "box" was {and likely still is} overfull.
So I cried. For the friends who& #39;ve lost family too soon. Those I& #39;ve never met who have lost. For the economic disparities that continually keep black folks

In danger. For the 2020 seniors who can& #39;t experience all this season should be. For the homebound who need but go without. For Drs & Nurses & caregivers who must be stressed from the constant hyper viligance and lack of PPE. For those who need to go back to work, because they& #39;re
Already on the wrong side of missing a paycheck. For those that are so selfish or so uninformed that they refuse to acknowledge the part they must play in finding a new normal. For those who go to help however for those that have not.
I cried because those who want normal refuse to acknowledge it CANNOT return.
Lastly, I cried because there are so many babies in the river and everytime we think we found the culprit of who& #39;s throwing them in.... Another appears.
