It's over....

I wonder what the city willlook and feel like tomorrow. Last Friday the tension, the fear and barely simmering rage were palpable, a thick mist in the air, tightening my stomach, making my jaw clench.

I've been following the convention with fervor, spending all my time online on it. I've come away relieved it's over, but otherwise dismayed, disgusted, and dispirited.

I am afraid. That world is *not* mine. That world is not one I want to live in. Another world is possible, must be possible.

You aren't the only fearful one. ::hugs::

Are they really gone? I'll have to do a dance of celebration.

I feel the same way- frightened and frustrated, and like a minority in my beliefs and views.

But one way or another, I know it will all be okay.

I think many are feeling like this...scared to be in this world. He said he has made the world safer yet I hear over and over again...more people are scared - more scared then they ever have been. I really can't tell you a time I have been this scared to live (due to the running of this country) in this world until now.

I can't image what you have been going through living there with all that going on. *hugs*

I think the amount of people who desperately want change must be more than the people who are okay with this, or even promote it.
