What’s been happening in our country, the dismantling, the destruction, the indiscriminate pain… I’m privileged not to be directly affected by it (so far 🤷🏼♀️😢)
But damn, it’s getting to me today. I’m overwhelmed by the horrors my nation is inflicting. I keep thinking of the pain and fear, and I cry.
Specifically the Venezuelan men and the college student protestors and European tourists locked up.
Our nation has done lots of horrible things in our history, but we also have done good. And we’ve been improving, rapidly. Leaps and bounds within my lifetime.
But lord, the 5 steps forward, 38 steps back is awful.
It’s cliche, but my heart aches with the feeling of I hate.this.timeline.
I have always been pretty outgoing and active in my community. But now i just want to shut down, stay home, trust no one.
I’ll get my bearings. And will get re-involved. I’ve done a smidge of denial and a lot of depression. I can feel the anger step of grief coming.
