I woke up today and found that fascists won the election. I feel this horrible feeling inside of my heart and for the first time in my life, I found myself crying because of world news. It isn’t because I’m upset that a political race didn’t go the way that I hoped it would go. It’s because I’m so very afraid that what I fear will come true. I am afraid that I am going to see many thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people die in unimaginable pain.
I’ve found this amazing love for others and what it really means to be alive and just as I do, it feels like the world takes a dark turn and I know what is coming, but I don’t know what I can do to stop it. I want so much to believe in the world, but how do I? I feel the weight of a storm bearing down on me and I just can’t stop crying. So, I guess the only thing to do is pray for God to help us and have mercy on us.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
