The Five Stages Of Grief: Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance.
What a crazy two days we've been through. And a weird two and a half months before that. No wonder some of us feel like a deflated balloon. We need a minute before we jump into the next stage. Just. Give. Us. A. Minute.
I think I figured out why I am just so blahhh at this moment. It's not that we lost, because if we had, I believe we all could have bounced back quick. There's no shame in losing if the fight was fair. Instead, we won and watched as that was stolen from us, on multiple levels, and are then told we aren't even allowed to say that. It's dysfunctional and cruel. I mean, I watched those election hearings like it was my JOB! I know what I saw, what I heard. But there are places out there on the interwebses where I am not allowed to even hint that the 2020 presidential election as less than legit. Infuriating. Thank God for this place.
So, yesterday I got to watch - well I didn't actually watch cause yeah no - as The United States Of America installed an illegitimate president who immediately began to tear down everything that Make America Great Again stands for. I feel so many emotions. I am angry. I am fearful. I am sad. I am resolute. I am exhausted.
The secret is, I do not write this for you, my fellow pedes. I write this for me. Because I just need a minute. I will be my happy self again, I will. I will refuse to accept the farce that is being rubbed in my face, I will. I just need a minute.
Maybe you do too. Are you out there?
