Sadness As A Gift

Hello Blog! 

It has been a long time since we last spoke. I have a few updates for you all! There is so much to share. 

First - Halloween was fun. I had two costumes this year, both pulled off pretty successfully. I even handed out candy with my sister! that was super fun, despite only getting 10 kids. It wasn't even really about how many kids came or didn't. It was nice to be there with her and my dad just laughing and hanging out. the quality time was definitely the real treat. 

My birthday was lovely. My sweet boyfriend and cousin threw me the greatest party any girl could've asked for! It was so sweet and so special. There wasn't very much drinking, which I was very happy for because I really don't care to. It was more about the time I got to spend with my friends. It was filled with yummy foods, silly singing and bonding. I got to do all the silly dances I use to do with my friends in middle school but now i was doing them with friends in my 20's and It was so sweet, a real full circle moment. It was the perfect party. Thank you guys again. On the actual day, I was celebrated by my family and my boyfriend. We went to the stinkiest rose in San Francisco and we ate dinner. It was everything I ever hoped The most garlicky meal in the most. beautiful way. The company was even better! Later that evening, I subjected by boyfriend to a game of scrabble and a long long viewing of In the Heights. 

At the end of my birthday,. I was gifted the worst gift possible. I don't know that there is much more to say. We all know what I am referencing. That sickening election. Once again, the nation proves that they will vote for the worst, like actually the worst,  man in the world before picking a woman. A woman a more qualified, and at the bare minimum, kind??. Now people everywhere are stuck in this sick emotional rut, fearful for their lives and the lives of those around them. How can we let a man filled with so much hate win again? How can there be so many people in the world with the same hate? It is sick. 

With all the good I got to have lately, I, like everyone, am reminded of all the bad that is simply inevitable.  

Hold your loves extra tight, use this time to speak up and educate those around you. 

See ya! ◡̈
