Where does the time go. It's been a crazy few years. I'm entering the last year of my 40's but while I feel older I also feel like a new person in many ways. It's an odd life. I sit here basking in a peace in my head Ive only recently experienced in my life while simultaneously dreading the following weeks as a member of vulnerable target group #1 for the incoming administration. I've already heard and felt the rise of vitriol bought by the $215 million dollars spent on TV ads this election season alone to spur fear and hatred of me and people like me as part of a wholly manufactured culture war.
I'm going to try to relax this weekend before the long fight begins Monday to keep my rights to exist in public and keep the coverage of of the medical treatments that have finally made me feel like a whole human being.
Anyway, have a good weekend on me. Be well and practice kindness and empathy. The world is short on both these days.
Oh, and keep a sense of humor. Lord knows it's saved me over the years. People who can't laugh at themselves... Well, you just cant trust them. ;)
