even darkness must pass
On this day I am reminded of one of the best scenes from lord of the rings (the two towers). Sam (who we all know is 1000x braver and more heroic than whiny old Frodo) reminds us exactly what we are doing:
It’s been four long exhausting years, and that was 2020 alone. I am tired. Bedraggled. Worn down and worn out.
it’s been rough.
Look at us in 2016, so happy, so hopeful, so excited! compared to me voting now.
But like sam, I believe there’s still some good left in this world. and my country will do the right thing today. And then we can begin the long road back to decency.
It starts today.
And if we lose? If the good guys lose? Then I’m either taking my kids and sneaking under the cloak of night into Canada, begging them for asylum, or I am driving us all off fucking cliff.
