The post election isolation
That. Was. Exhausting.
On all fronts, this election season has been completely exhausting. There is so much to process. Personal feelings. The feelings of others. Trying to wrap our heads around the present and the future.
It's been a while since I've blogged and a lot (and nothing at all) has happened.
But today, post election, I have found myself in a really weird spot as I am sure others of you are too.
Wanting to stay in and hide and wanting to get out and just be.
I can't help but think of all of my friends, family, and acquaintances who are feeling a gamut of emotions. From relief to anxiety, loss to hope, and all of the emotions in between. We all have our own lives, our own stories, victories, drama and fear. And all of the 'normal' of life has been amplified today by the processing of the election.
I want to sit. I want to cry. Not because my candidate lost or won but because I know I am not the only one feeling this way. I'm not the only one wanting to sit in the house and not go out in the world. I am not the only one overwhelmed by all of the comments on social media. And yet, all I want to do is to be with my friends and family.
