Thank you to those of you who messaged me re my last post. I know once upon a time those would have been replies. I appreciate the extra step you took to say what you said.

I’ve been through several really monumental changes in my life over the past three years. Sometimes it’s hard to tell where my emotions are coming from. Am I sad? Am I angry? Have I just changed? I’m still getting to know Natasha whose father died. Natasha who fell in love and got married after four months. Natasha who is now a jewelry designer and no longer a graphic designer. These things have changed me. I’m still trying to understand who I am in the context of these changes.

I wonder sometimes if Trump is maybe some gigantic social experiment. Maybe to test society. To see what it’s really made of. To force a response. I mean, maybe he’s a good thing. In that he’s forcing people to choose sides and show their true colors and be vocal about their beliefs, whether they be in support of him or so vehemently against him. Sometimes it takes extremes circumstances for people to take a public stance. Maybe he’s that guy. Maybe he’s that catalyst that’s so outrageous that people cannot stay quiet. That’s not a bad thing. Activism vs apathy.*

I need to get some sleep. Epcot tomorrow.
