I hope you will be okay, I hope all of us will be.

I am struggling a bit. Have asshole relatives gloating about the election win and how people like me will be hurt.

I am not personally harmed…yet…but I feel sick for those who are harmed.

I am afraid of the future and wish we would move out of the country, but Dave says “no.”

I’m trying to contain my worries to a certain amount of time per day and then close the door and do art, baking, cooking, daydreaming about better days.

I guess I’m hanging in there.
