This week- geez, this year has been filled with a flurry of different emotions, and I think it’s safe to say we are all allowed to go through that gamut and shouldn’t feel shame in that. I was seeing a lot of criticism going around this week for people who are feeling hopeful, for people who are still feeling hopeless, for people who are indifferent, for people who don’t believe change is coming in the ways we need, for people who are skeptical, and for people who aren’t. You name it, there’s someone out there with an opinion on how everyone should feel during this distinctive shift in power. There are understandably so many complicated emotions around what’s next. This post-Trump phase we’re stepping into is akin to coming out of an awful relationship. We’ve been gaslit, lied to, and verbally abused for years. It’s okay to feel every single emotion and/or nothing at all.
