The forest

I usually find the whole time zones issues very annoying, but yesterday I was very, very glad for them.

It allowed me to have a great birthday, and I don't think I would have been able to enjoy it knowing the results of the election. However, by the time we found out in Europe what had happened it was no longer my birthday so....

I'm still reeling from the results, although I'm starting to come to the point when you realize there's nothing to be done about it (and being non-American there was never much I could do anyway) and we need to move on. Personally, I believe that we need to stay strong and together, and refuse to let fear rule our lives, if we are able to help it. I want to look at the future with hope, even if it's hard right now.

*hugs everyone*

I'm also worried about the upcoming elections in Europe, but right now I'm trying to distract myself by writing more and posting new stories. Spreading a bit of joy as much as I'm able to. At some point soon, I will have to face RL again and see what can and needs to be done to help avoid such an outcome here.
