On current politics

[zeeth_kyrah]

I'm upset and worried today. And maybe that fear will calm down in a few days... but... right now I am not looking forward to the next decade or so with great hope. Instead, I am calling up what courage I have, and choosing to live. Choosing to do what I must to survive no matter what, choosing to live and to support others and myself as best I am able with what limited ability I have.

I choose to be a person, and to be myself.
I am who I am, what I am. I did not choose these inherent traits and experiences. But I choose to accept them, and to live.

I've been living in a state of existential terror since the election.

I spent the "stroke of noon" singing this

My generation forced a sitting president to resign, ended the Vietnam War, and brought about huge cultural changes by singing protest songs. I sing VERY LOUD.

yeah, sometimes just being alive is an act of resistance. hugs
