we grieve — alone — but together
All of us. We need to take a walk. We need to breathe and lick our wounds. We have invested so much and this disappointment is on a scale way too much for any individual. So we grieve — alone — but together.
That’s it. I’m done. I am out of here. Good Bye, politics — especially all of USA-related topics. I quit. I have tried and given my best to be involved and to care, even though I left this country already 18 years ago. I always cared. For my friends, for all the good people living there, but also mostly for the world. Still much of the world is guided and massively influenced by whoever is president, but to elect this … whatever he is … a second time — this is too much. After all, what happened. After all, what he did, what he said… and even after all he said, he will do — in the near future — to all of us.
I am sorry, I have warned already massively in 2016 and I was worried, where the country would be heading in 2020 — but now, I will say good bye to politics for a while. I will now turn off the news and focus on my profession, my main topics, my creative work… my own sanity.
I know, the country and the world will need a lot of good people fighting the good fight. Especially now. Defend the minorities, keeping human rights, being kind — but I need a break. This is too much for me — and honestly I don’t care, HOW this could happen. I don´t want to see any analysis anymore. It should never have been close in the first place. It should have been reduced to maximum 35% of unteachable mass followers — but to be 50–50 was already wrong. And now…
All of us. We need to take a walk. We need to breathe and lick our wounds. We need some time out. We need to focus on what is important, our inner strength and light. We need to take it easy, pamper ourselves, and do simple things. Little things, which give us joy — personal joy. We have invested so much and this disappointment is on a scale way too much for any individual. So we grieve — alone — but together.
And in that grief we stay connected. The fascistic playbook will do everything to discourage us further and we will see where this leads, but it is ok to take a rest now. Let go and disassociate for a while. It is necessary.
In the long run, darkness will always fail.
We will not give in, but stay kind, tolerant, helpful and human.
We will stay on the friendly path.
We will try…
