I like how accepting the world is a very dark place, where you work hard for your own points of light, helps me appreciate how dark this day is while being minimally affected emotionally. Feels to me that being more comfortable with darkness/bad luck/mortality/terror/"The bad parts about being human" (or whatever you want to call it) gives me more space and safe-environment (in mindspace) to understand how completely screwed some things are. Stay strong & Good luck ❤️

yeah, I dunno - that just sounds like detachment from the looming consequences, which can sometimes be easy (at least for me, dissociation seems to be a common coping mechanism for me) but it is unwise if it prevents you from taking the necessary actions to protect yourself.

I was in good spirits even after Pennsylvania was called for Trump early this morning, so I get it. Feeling worse after some sleep, though.
