The last few days I've felt like the world is a terrible place and everything hurts. I'm angry and despairing to find myself living in these times. I'm afraid for my child's future, scared to death for my friends in the US. I feel helpless and hopeless. There's nothing I can do to make things better.

So, I'm just going to write. And love my dog. And support the people who can make a difference. And not keep quiet if I see someone being verbally abused in the street. And know that if I have to fight, I'll probably lose but still do it anyway. And open my door to anyone who needs a safe place to stay. And open my arms to anyone that feels unloved. I'm going to talk about trivial nonsense online, and post stupid memes, and act like my heart is not breaking. It is. There's no getting back to normal, there's only living. So, I'm going to do that. I just wanted you to know.
