I don’t know why but Snapchat filters have always made me feel prettier

Throwback #selfie complete with a goofy/cute filter, just because it makes me smile and brings me joy!

As election anxiety continues to grip the United States, I felt like I had to say something, because I see so many people posting about how, “no matter who wins, we’ll all be okay, and the reality is, for a lot of people, that simply isn’t true.

It’s been four years, and there are still so many people who think that my objections and concerns about the current administration are simply a matter of politics, a matter of red versus blue, and right versus left, and that’s not the reality.

So here’s the truth, at least from my perspective. I’m not upset because you disagree with me. I’m not upset or fearful over politics.

I’m anxious, upset, and afraid because my ability to live freely and authentically in this world seems to be up for debate every time we have an election, or appoint a new Supreme Court justice, and, frankly, it’s exhausting.

For many marginalized people this election was never about "politics ”, or “differences of opinion”, it was about our right to live in the world as our authentic selves, and our very ability to survive.
