holidays, uspol (-) 

I don't like today. I don't like the explosions and loud noises, I don't like the massive agressive grocery store raids leading up to it, I don't like the pressures to celebrate a country I find more horrifying by the day, I don't like the sick conflicted feeling of watching friends celebrate it - out of family obligation, a need for an escape, a desire to hold on to an image of how things SHOULD be...

Everything that has been hard this year seems magnified.
