My best friend was just elected President. I am proud of them but I don't know what to do now. I believe they will take care of this country but what about helping me? I don't know how often I will see them now. I once saw them almost every day but now they will have to move to Washington DC and I won't even be able to go up there very often because I have my own job that I have to do. They will have to go into meetings and maybe even travel when I do get to go up there. I have to tell myself that I will only lose them for four years, but that is still so long! What am I supposed to do if they try to run for another term? My best friend is like my family, so without them how can I live a normal life? Will I replace them without meaning to? Will it be awkward when they come back? What do I do when they come back with all these amazing stories about far off lands or cool cultures that I will never get to visit. Or even worse, will they replace me with someone who is more popular or even famous? I don't know exactly how to feel about this. I am proud of them for accomplishing their dreams and I believe they will help our hurting country a lot, but what will happen to me? What will happen to us?
Talk to you soon,
A single voice in this world.
