precisely one year ago i went to school after election day and felt like driftwood in an uncertain sea.
it was a very quiet day. i remember touching things like i was new to the world and everyone whispering consolations to everyone else.
six months later i didn't mark the date but i probably thought something like when will this end and hey, we're one year closer.
we survived a year of this and they are still pointing fingers, tossing blames and slurs like baseballs. f them, we deserve all the wins we can get.
keep hoping, i tell my friends and the girl i was last year. keep hoping and once we've hit rock bottom, it can only go up from there.

I felt the same way. When I realized that it had been a year since then I was wishing I could talk to my past self the day before the election and remember what it was like.
samee I was trying to remember what it had felt like on 11/7 two years ago, three, four, and I genuinely couldn't because they were so graciously unremarkable. I woke up on that day this year and realized the day before was the election anniversary and I hadn't even noticed.
I remember about a year and a week ago I was talking to my girlfriend, wondering what we were going to do if he became president
wow deep
Yup 😔
