Tell me.

Did you see the news last night?

Because in your warmth I forget how cold it can be

and In your heat I feel how cold it can get.

I do not feel good.

I do not want this to be happening.

My worst nightmare came true today.

A dangerous man who does not respect women was elected the leader of my country.  

A man who I do not have a lot of faith in.

I try to be someone positive.

Someone who tries to put my feet in the shoes of others..

But with this guy?

There's a nasty feeling in my gut. It won't go away. It's a constant feeling of dread and anxiety.

I am terrified.

Ashamed to be an American.

So what do we do when the news gets too horrific?

When the evil power and greed take over?

When we don't feel safe?

We find distractions.

We love.

We laugh.

We live.

I'm disappointed with where my country is, but it's not the end of the world.

The sun will still rise each day.

Christmas is still on the way.

I have to keep living my life.

Nothing lasts forever...

So I'll keep walking around the universe.

Looking to be held in a wild, wild, world.

Nice portraying of the anxiety which followed Trump becoming the president. Though I'm not from America, still I can relate to that feeling of dread.

Thanks so much. It's really tiring. :(

I wonder what's going to happen to us. I am so sad.

Its gonna be alright. Worrying won't get you anywhere. We must pray and hope for the best..
