I haven't posted in months. This has been bothering me, but there have been a lot of reasons for my silence.
- After I graduated high school, I needed a break from writing.
- I also started a job that was keeping me busy.
- And then I started college, which was really exciting.
- And then my grandmother died.
I don't want to get too much into this in this post, but I've had a few Major Depressive Episodes in my life, the first one happening when I was 12/13. The combination of the stress of moving, starting college, and the death of my grandmother triggered another episode. I'm working on getting better, but it made it harder for me to get back into blogging or to do any of the things I wanted to do.
But I can't stay silent anymore. Last night, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States of America. And I am angry. And scared. And sad. We cannot change the fact that he was elected. But we can use our voices to affect change and to combat the hate that many people will now feel is justified and acceptable. Show them that they are not the majority. Show them how things are changing and we will come back from this.
Stay hopeful and engage. Let your voice be heard and let Trump know that we will not put up with hate and fear-mongering.
