What's Bothering You?

you and me and Saylor can work to get to Canada 🤝
My friend has been trying to fight to get Canadian status for over a year. It's no better over there from what she is saying.

i don’t know much about politics but idk how america can elect a CRIMINAL not once but TWICE. he gets away with basically everything.
Because money is better than morals.

my dad has a hat that says "I voted for the convicted felon" 🫡

I definitely won't deny that, I mostly want to go because my love is there 🥺
 
Last night I woke up from a friend calling me at 1 AM, completely drunk and saying some troubling things. He told me "Don't cry on me", but I couldn't help myself. I don't know how to deal with inebriated people, and his behavior vaguely reminded me of my mom. I really care about this friend, but I can't deal with other people's problems at my current mental state. Especially when he's dealing with very similar problems as I am. It makes me feel selfish in a way, and I wish there was more I could do.

I'm also deeply worried for my love. I want things to get better for us. 💔

I wish I was born in October instead of November. I don't know how I could possibly enjoy my birthday or Christmas this year after last night.

Or, better yet, kinda wish I wasn't born in the first place.

Things already weren't great for me, especially as of late, but I try not to be a downer and do my best to not talk about it. Typically only go on about minor inconveniences or annoyances in here.

I feel kind of emotionally dead other than a mixture of anger and disgust.

Everyone who will be affected by this have my sympathies.
 
The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.

It's really not that hard to fool people tbh. Give them something, even if it is not ideal and full of inconsistencies, and they'll latch on.
 
I worry that I will never feel an ounce of comfort again with this massive change and that worries me, how can we truly be a free country if we want to remove rights of others. People are happy to have voted for this and it sickens me. I truly wish leaving the country was easier than it is because I feel like there is no future here anymore.
 
Edit: Rephrasing for better execution of my thoughts!

I am a proud Asian-American but my goodness! I truly love this country but everything we have worked towards for years is going to be broken. I lost all respect for the population and bad things will happen in the future for sure. I thought we were all better than this. I'm moving after college. I'll be a great pediatrician somewhere in Taiwon!

Anyways I dont like being political nor do I know much about it, this is disappointing.

me: *sees the election results*
also me: when's the next flight to Japan? I want OUT.
(after learning more about the effects of bills that Presidents pass and when they take effect, it SICKENS me that Trump'll take credit for the economy that Biden created. Trump was left with Obama's economy after he left office, and he took credit. Biden got Trump's economy, and got universal backlash. Now, it'll happen AGAIN. Whoever we get after these 4 years, if the U.S.A even EXISTS by then, they'll be left with a dumpster fire. AND GUESS WHO'LL ESCAPE UNSCATHED?)

...Sorry for that rant in parentheses, I just COULDN'T keep this a secret after hearing it on the way to school. I now officially hate politics, and my New Year's Resolution is decided early: to NEVER GET INVOLVED. EVER.
 
Found more blood on my white kitten's chest today. These wounds are new and much worse than before (initial was surface level) - I believe they are self-inflicted from the pattern they form and the fact he keeps scratching.

I've made him an appointment with the vet for 6:30PM tomorrow night. It'll be a tight turnaround as I also have a vaccine appointment at 4:40PM. Wish I could have gotten him seen tonight - it'll be a long 24hrs. Work will drag tomorrow. 😬

I won't show the wounds of course, but here is a photo of him cuddled up with me from 20 mins ago after I got him cleaned up:

not even american, but those results make me feel sick. people's hate truly knows no bounds. how does a woman with experience in all three branches of government, arguably the most qualified presidential candidate in history, lose to THAT?

Because she’s a woman. I really think it’s that simple. Even many “leftist” men will vote for a man convicted of fraud and assault before they will vote for a woman. With male candidates it’s “well, he’s the lesser of two evils.” With female candidates it’s “she has to achieve total ideological purity or I will be morally reprehensible by association if I vote for her.”

I’m so incredibly discouraged. For the first time in my life I thought a female president was a real possibility, but these results have me shaken. I honestly think we might not even see a female president in the next 50 years. Male Gen Z voters turned out in droves for The One We Got and are polling more and more as saying that feminism is ruining America, that men are oppressed, etc. Meanwhile my female friends have become convinced that speaking about women’s rights or experiences is divisive, exclusionary, or “cringe.” Idk man I haven’t felt this hopeless in a while.

oh, trust me, i know it's because she's a woman lol. especially in this day and age where young men are being radicalized left and right by the internet and the likes of andrew tate. it's just still incomprehensible to me, especially because looking at the demographic breakdown, it seems several groups voted against their best interests. i thought it would still be a close race, but i had some hope she would still win. it doesn't help that there appears to have been some vote tampering, with elon musk offering $1 million or whatever and ballot boxes being set on fire etc.
