   It's been a while...

   It's election night. Polls are finishing up. Things aren't looking good. I fear for my rights as a woman. I fear for what this may entail for me financially, how it may affect my education, how it may affect my getting a job after college. I fear for what it means for my future kids. I feel helpless and hopeless. I voted, yet I feel like my voice was not heard nationally (Regionally? Yes because a measure that I voted in favor of was passed).

   I can't believe how much I have loved the Obamas. I really took his presidency for granted. I'll miss them like crazy. I don't think there will be another president like Obama in a very very long time. I can't see how anyone can top him.

   I voted Bernie in the primaries, and my vote for the general election will remain a secret.

   This is all I have to say about the election. I can't say anymore, I might break down.

   I hope you voted. <3
