I’m not sure if anyone else feels the immense anxiety about this incoming year as an American. I have always had a gloom about the world and been a realist but now the line between realism and pessimism is blurring. I’ve looked at plane tickets to different countries, I have a renewed passport, I am worried about the safety of my partner, friends, and family. Tonight’s celebration feels like a last. I am prone to heavy feelings but this feels more realistic as I said, and that is what is worrying me the most. I am unsure of what platforms will get banned or silenced / heavily moderated but I feel like social media is going to have a boom more so than it already has in this upcoming presidency. I think a lot of people of minority will seek refuge in these platforms, this one included, not only as an escape but as a way to exist without hate and seek social connection. These promises made by the one who is to be in charge are terrifying, and if they don’t terrify you, you are either lucky or in denial. I don’t know about all of you, but I am hiding my pride flag after today. I pray for all those who wear theirs proudly in the upcoming year that you will be safe and unharmed. I pray for all those going to be affected by these next four years, including those who are being hurt across the globe. I am no religious affiliate but I pray to whomever may listen.
I hope all of those who read this have a fun and safe celebration tonight and party with lack of worry. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts, they were heavy being carried on my own.

🔕im with you on the shared fear. woke up very emotional with the impact this election has on so many vulnerable people.
I would honestly say, take a few days to process these results. The emotions are going to be big and heavy, especially with the shared grief of social media. I wouldn’t rely on fear and hesitation entirely, though those emotions are entirely valid.
Ultimately, you will find your people and your curated sense of safety, no matter where you go. breathe, do light research, and focus on possibility and resistance while acknowledging the real possible dangers, will help you balance these two ends of adventure and uncertainty.
Sending everyone in America love and prayers. I am very scared for and with you.. I’m right next door if you need me 🙏🏾

I recently entered the stage in my relationship where I'm invited to every occasion, and though it always excites me the feeling of anxiety rises up within me like bile.
Yet all the important relatives love me so why do I even worry??
It's ridiculous how at times I feel as if I talk too much or too little automatically makes me an enemy of the state, if their love or approval must be earned, or I must prove my love for my boyfriend through a myriad of obstacles. Its as if anything im enamored with must be proven, and I wish I had that machine in The Stepford Wives so I reach every standard and am perfect in every aspect. Yet I am only human, and humans aren't perfect. Optimism is definitely something that can be worked on in my case.
I know I overthink and get anxious over the simplest glance or gesture, but sometimes I fear the worst on the drive to events and squeeze my hands so hard my nails are surely going to pop off. Yet every single time, I am welcomed with open arms.
I'm super excited tomorrow, I get to see one of the sweetest grandfathers I've ever met, listen to stories, and catch up on gossip. Its always pleasant to spend holidays with those who give love back, and I know I'm in for it tomorrow. I'll watch fireworks with some of my favorite people as my fears and anxiety dim, because they really are just fears and nightmare fuel that makes me so pessimistic.

On my walk home from work at night, I pass it. I look into the church and see lights on inside and wonder who is up so late working on research or simply passing the time behind unknown walls. I wish to pass through the iron gates like a phantom in the night and idle as the stars die in my wake; never moving, never ceasing. Insomniacal practice. Haunting those who dare to grow their mind when it should be maintenancing in slumber. I look on with envy as the wisps remind me the gates are there for a reason, and my flesh is not permeable.
The towering architecture only looms over me to press it in. I pass it and think of what I could have been.
