Knowing that I grew up thinking one day people in this country wouldn’t have to fight for equality or basic human rights after seeing progress year after year, only to watch it crumble is indescribably painful.

I want to be angry, I want to fight. But I am so god damn exhausted and scared. I truly cannot believe there are people on this earth who want to hurt others the way this administration repeatedly does.

No one ever had to teach me how to be kind. No one ever explained acceptance to me or showed me how to love because it’s natural. Hate is learned. And these monsters in power have learned from the best of the best.

I don’t know where I was even going with this thread. All I know is I am sad and I miss being surrounded by people who get it. Last election I had dozens of pals with loud voices and big hearts right by my side. This year I’m alone with my cats, so yeah ignore me

Also to clarify, though I have some personal fears, most of these emotions are stemming from the worry I have for everyone who will be in immediate danger if things go awry.
