Just really sad today. Staying away from the news online and everywhere else. Not even checking celebrity news. All kinds of updates on how the world is doing are not allowed for my mental health. Until I can actually do something to make a difference, I think I’m going to stay away for a while. I have to come up with something fruitful to do, to write, or to say. He is not the problem. The issue is the other half of the country that agrees with the same views as him. Why did they do that? How to approach those to change their minds? I know it’s not to point out that they are stupid or wrong. Kindness and inclusivity have to be involved. Warmth, acceptance, understanding. Show respect and value.
I am deeply sad. I am grieving like I’ve lost someone. I haven’t figured out yet what it is that I’ve lost. But that’s what it feels like. I felt is as soon as I woke up this morning, milliseconds before even remembering what it was all about. It’s just deeply felt in my heart and gut, and I do not know how to change it yet. I’m going through it to get past it, that’s all I know for now.
I have to think, think deep. Reflect. Figure out what to do next to get to a better place for growth, less hate, less anger, less fear.
