election

yk what as disappointing as this is rn, and as tempting as it is to regress back into my hikikomori era because of how depressed and suicidal i was, I've personally done so much work to better myself and reach the point i am in now where im no longer in that headspace to let the results bring me down. its unfortunate but ultimately unsurprising given this country's history and the views of the majority.

our individual lives matter more outside of this, and you will be reflected back to you. we still have room for change in little ways in our own lives. me personally, i live in the south so i know how much harder my life will hypothetically get given the fact im trans & a racial minority.

however, figuring out my identity specifically this past year or two has been a net positive for me mentally, physically, spiritually — so much so that i refuse to let that kind of joy be taken away by an election.

humans are incredible at adapting and problem solving. we've gone through so much worse — people are going through worse right now. not that its a competition, but its about perspective. we'll be okay. ive wasted years of my life in misery and disillusionment, mostly about being alive at all. but its gotten better. we'll be okay ^_^
