2004- the first presidential election that has me weeping openly |
|
I'm normally a fairly composed individual, but it seems like every time I hear a good speech, or a good Mike Malloy rant, I just get overwhelmed lately. Maybe I'm just too acutely aware of the situation, the importance, too much for my own good?
:shrug:
hell even the droning speeches Kerry gives have moved me to tears! :silly: I don't know if I'll be able to handle the election itself, win or lose!
Anyone else becoming a blubbering mass of goo over this?

I sort of understand what you are saying. We tend to be quite passionate about our beliefs and we understand the import of the election. I can't seem to think of much else...

I feel your pain. Truly. It's a RARE day when I wake up in the morning and DO NOT immediately become upset about what's happening to OUR country, OUR White House, OUR future! More often than not, it's the last thing I grimace about before I go to sleep, unless of course I've just seen something interesting in "In Style," "Vogue," or "Bead & Button" (my bedside reading).

it's like PTSD after Nov election fiasco and everything that has followed. I always thought i was too sensitive, and i went into a 'shutdown' mode since then. I cope, but that's about it.
peace, dp

10. There is a sense of impending doom these days |
|
Often when in the middle of some mundane enjoyable activity, I pause and wonder if activities such as these will be around to enjoy for too much longer. I do worry a lot about the middle class disappearing.
