When I first started this site I was fired up about all the bad that was happening to women’s rights at the hands of trump and his despicable cronies. In the months since the election and his taking office I have been shocked at the lack of empathy and compassion our elected officials have for the American people. The fact that the republicans are not showing their faces at their town halls or talking to their constituents is a disgusting time in American history. I can’t imagine any republican being reelected at this point. They are all useless pieces of shyt that deserve a special place in hell for supporting trump and taking away the rights of Americans.
I thought this couldn’t possibly be as bad as I thought it would be. Then the days just kept adding up… It became obvious very quickly that it was going to be worse or on par with what I was thinking. What so many others thought and tried to warn us about is happening, and it’s the worst leadership in our history and they are destroying everything that has been built and sacrificed for in the past 250 years. Our allies hate us and may never trust us again, I wouldn’t… Or it would take a long time before I trusted again.
I thought I could keep up. I thought I could give my honest opinion about what was happening from another perspective. I was so very wrong. I overestimated my current abilities to handle the world and stay healthy and keep recovering. And at the same time, although our internet presence has not grown exponentially; we are starting to develop a real community locally.
I had no idea where this would go when I started, but I did have a feeling it would go in ways and directions that would surprise me and that’s exactly what’s happening. And a very big part of my recovery has been working on being present in real life and not being online all the time. I used to use it as a way to distract and escape from the pain and misery of my injury; my recovery has taught me being part of real life is very important. And the people I am meeting and continue to meet have been amazing as well.
