i don’t know, darlings. we are, i think, in one of those times where a new world feels possible, though in darker moments i think my country will instead double down on all its worst impulses.
we can try to tip the scales, though, one way or the other. we can take charge of our own transformation, we can wrap ourselves up in our good habits and urges, and we can help each other. (we can also, of course, call and write our elected officials and try to enact change on that scale.)
i don’t have much else to say, this week. i am trying to brace for what is to come; i am trying to take care of myself, and others. i am used to solitude and i am used to trauma, but this is still very different than anything i have ever experienced. i believe in humans, though. it is going to get worse before it gets better, but i have to believe it will get better.
if you can’t manage that sort of attitude, i understand. i hope, darlings, that you can all be gentle with yourselves. these are trying times. i believe in you.
