It's been a while.
It's an election year, which has become a really traumatizing part of being an American -- at least for some of us, I think. It honestly wasn't too bad until 2016 when I felt absolutely blind-sided by the outcome. The realization that there are a whole lot of people in this great country who feel very validated by such a disgraceful man was nothing less than a total shock to my concept of reality.
Reality... That's an important word to me lately, as I now feel like I am forced to live in an alternate universe (the Upside Down?) with quite possibly a greater majority of folks who are no longer concerned with loving their neighbor, minding their own business, treating others with the respect with which they would like to be treated... or even the truth.
THE TRUTH. In this new reality, the Truth doesn't matter anymore. Experts are mocked. Evidence to prove them wrong only makes them dig in deeper to their conspiracies.
I wanted a better place for my son to grow. I thought there were enough good people left to stop this from happening, but I'd be lying if I said I'm sitting here right now with even a shred of hope left. I think Team Good Guy is going to lose... and I'm sitting in bed right now living out the last couple weeks of America as I know it.
