Trauma

I lay on my bed in the dark, with my phone the only light, and watched a political rally, which is not a sentence I ever would have thought I’d write.

The current vice-president announced her nominee for vice-president in the upcoming election. And I found myself crying.

Sitting, crying at a political stump speech, just because the candidates were saying things like “we need to be better,” and “let’s take care of each other,” and I guess the last few years have been kind of traumatic.
