I believe there are so many of us who struggle with what you are talking about. Thank you for articulating it so eloquently. My hope is that this only strengthens our resolve in the end. We are playing a long game. There are no saviors who will rescue us. Thank you for staying in the fight.

So so many. Everyone I've talked to recently has asked me some version of WHAT IS HAPPENING?! It's okay to be disappointed, and it's okay to keep pushing forward. "There are no saviors who will rescue us" is so true. Our dedication will deliver the victory... eventually.

Well, I’m proud of you. They drank the Kool Aid. You know…the one with the Red 40 in it. Keep standing up for what you believe in. Just because they lack the courage of their convictions doesn’t mean the story ends. Stay on it like a rabid dog if it is what you believe in. Or, turn the tide. Start something completely new, and totally you. I love you kiddo! 🥰

Ha! Ba dum tsss! Thank you so much :-). It's tough to watch shadowy forces push back on the things and people you care about, but I just can't pretend everything is going perfectly, but also can't find it in myself to totally give in either. I guess I'll enjoy some new territory!

Can’t disagree with a single thing here.

Ugh thank you so much Katy. I’m not sure that I’ve ever worked so hard on any piece of writing before - EVER! I was absolutely paralyzed with feelings. Appreciate the support!
