I know.
You're angry. You should be. You're scared. You should be.
This is awful. It's horrifying. It's deeply depressing. Rage. Scream. Mourn the tragedy we know is coming.
But remember this: what we are about to experience is the world our grandmothers and great grandmothers lived in. This is what they fought against.
Remember that they won. Even if the victory was temporary, they still won.
We can win, too. Prepare yourself. Finish your mourning, and get back to the fight. Yes, it's awful that we have to have this same fight. It's frustrating. It's heartbreaking. But now is not the time to surrender to despair.
Now the work begins.

this is not supposed to be pretty
this is not supposed to be art
i just had to find a way to express myself on this subject
because i am overwhelmed. i am grieving.
and if anyone else is feeling like i am, i want to send you all my love.
i wish i did not have to talk about this

“I will remember the kisses
our lips raw with love
and how you gave me
everything you had
and how I
offered you what was left of
me,
and I will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.”
- Charles Bukowski

having emotions is a blessing
so stop telling me it's a curse
just because you don't have them
