It's 1 month after that, that, what do you even call it? My insides were turning, I felt like I was dying, and it definitely set me back from my healing journey.
However, I am doing tremendously better!! My family's Thanksgiving, everyone being under the same roof for the first time in years, really helped me come around and have closure regarding Kamala.
We didn't even talk about politics, didn't have much time. But everyone had already been talking on the phone and we all suffered together, lol, on that election night and days after, we suffered together so we were all working on putting it behind us and moving forward.
I'm so thrilled to see that Kamala is still out and about, doing small business visits and things like that. I was crushed to my core for her. Overqualified for the Presidency, and then just a damn good person...any civilized society would have gotten this one right.
I refuse to believe that people like that are the same species as me. If they're human then that's not what I am. For years I have considered myself to be part alien. There's just no way on Earth (pun intended) that "those kind of people" are made the same as me and the other good people out here.
I know it sounds silly and insane, but it helps me to continue to not care what happens to them and to start having closure regarding not just current day atrocities but just from the way it's been since forever. They not like us. And by "they" I mean even some people who voted the right way but still believe in negative stereotypes about Black people (ie, out of wedlock kids, low marriage rates, don't cook healthy, don't read etc) .....there are millions, I'm not naming all that mess. Anyway, so what if you voted for Kamala, if you believe the cops are justified in taking a life because the person was "ghetto" or if you're like The Shade Room People, Breakfast Club people...all that bullying other Black people, then you too, are the "they" that I don't care about.
So what if our skin color is the same. We just saw first hand, how someone can break all the laws, norms, rules and still get the job, yet people had the nerve to say "rules are rules" when it came to Sha'Carri and Will Smith etc.
Too many Black people get online and praise white as being better in everything, marriage, education, finances etc and I'm like, you self-hating idiots actually value and praise a people who got their "superiority" via the same exact playbook that but tramp in office not once but twice. That's how "supremacy" works on every level, and you idiots praise that while publicly annihilating Black people for not being like what you +think+ whites/other races are like. They're like this election just proved.
Anyway, that was my long way of saying, when I say I don't care and been stopped caring what happens to "them," I'm talking about people of a particular mindset, regardless of their color. Lately it's been an extremely high amount of Black people on the other side, so they too, have got to be a different species from me too lol.
I'm done, been done, just needed to be able to start healing from these people and that I am
Anyway
Key thing is, I'm feeling good even though it's just been 1 month since. After Thanksgiving I got sick with a sore throat, but thank goodness it only lasted a few days. Theraflu really helped me, as I took it early on before it got too bad. So yesterday my throat was finally better and that is when I just was, better overall.
I've even been dancing today. Not like dancing through an entire song or something, but just you know, moving around and doing some 2 steps here and there 😋
I am so relieved. Being able to feel like me again, is a beautiful and much needed gift that I deserve. I just have to continue to heal and minimize the other side so that they're out of my mind forever

It's going to be in the low 30s tonight so I needed to drag my lemon tree inside, especially since it rained earlier today, I literally felt sad thinking of leaving my wet tree in the cold. Now below 30 is where it gets in danger, and though we're not going below 30, I still didn't want it I was able to take a better look and see that the fruit on it were not just green and kinda rotten looking but I looked at the other side of the tree and they were purely yellow!! For the first time in the 4 years I've had the tree, I have lemons!!!!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

So when I was getting ready to post, I saw where it said "Let Copilot rewrite your post" or something like that. Chile this AI stuff gonna be like "Let me breath for you" actually I'm sure we're already at that point.
So anyway, here's the way Copilot rewrote my post above. I thought it was interesting and well done.
The alien part 😅

"It's been a month since that day, which was so tumultuous it's hard to describe. It felt like a severe setback in my journey to healing. Yet, I'm now doing much better. The family gathering for Thanksgiving, with everyone under one roof for the first time in years, greatly aided in my process of finding closure, especially concerning Kamala. We avoided politics, as there wasn't much time, but having previously shared our election night anxieties over the phone, we were collectively focused on healing and moving forward.
Seeing Kamala active, visiting small businesses and engaging in community activities, fills me with joy. She was immensely qualified for the presidency and is fundamentally a good person; any fair society would recognize that.
I can't accept that those who think so differently are of the same species. I've often felt part alien, as it seems impossible that such people could share the same essence as me and others who strive for goodness.
It may sound absurd, but this mindset helps me disengage from their fate and find closure, not just for present-day wrongs but for historical injustices as well. 'They' are not like us, and by 'they,' I refer to those who, despite possibly voting correctly, still harbor negative stereotypes about Black people—stereotypes about family structure, health habits, literacy, and more. Even if they voted for Kamala, those who justify police brutality or engage in the bullying of other Black individuals are part of the 'they' I choose to disregard."
