It has been 6 months
since my last post. Post-election I had to regain my bearings. I did not want
to give in to fear and my seasonal affective symptoms. Fear choked the voice
out of me. I had fears that haven’t actually come to pass. Not seeing the sun for
15 days over the winter made me feel like the simplest task was difficult. I
had to think through each step of the process. This state was not sustainable
for me. My solution was to throw myself into being a mom, my job and running. After
all, I am all of those things, not just a political byproduct. I bought myself
a happy light and found a primary care physician to help manage my symptoms.
I also signed up for a marathon. I resolved that a bad experience from my first marathon could
be redeemed. It made me think that all decisions could be redeemed. Election
results are no different. In this writing journey, I resolve to continue learning,
have meaningful conversations, act and ultimately evolve.
