Wow, I really didn't expect to see a win from Donald Trump. I'm not going to lie, I was shocked and upset last night when I could see where the polls were headed. So much so that I almost needed to take an anxiety pill. Instead I turned the TV off and rented a movie from Amazon to keep my mind off things. I truly felt a sense of doom. I can't explain it. So I had to do some self-talk! Things like, it's going to be OK, you still have your job, you still have your family, you still have your home, and your pets. Nothing has changed yet. I feel a lot better today and it helped to just turn the TV off and try to disconnect from what was going on.
I guess that I was so opposed to DT becoming president because I really really really don't like what I perceive him to stand for. I feel like he doesn't see women as equal, and he would like to set us back a few decades. I think he is a narcissist. And having know a few of these in my time, this would not be a good characteristic for a president to have. I don't like his thinking about minorities and immigrants, to name just a few things. I could go on but the list is very long and it's been said numerous times before.
But what's done is done. And I did the only thing that I knew what to do at the time and that was to go vote. I've never been interested in politics at all. But I was really into this election this year. As much as I hated it. There was such a huge amount of negativity by all parties involved. Maybe it's always that was during an election. But it stood out to me this time. So in that matter, I'm glad it's finally over. Not sure if the negativity will go away any time soon though. Only time will tell.
In the meantime, I will try and be the best person that I know how to be. And I will try to have an open mind during DT's term. We may all be terribly sorry that he is in office. But then again he might surprise us and do some real good. We shall see.
