The Election 2024
Over a month has passed since my last post. And I must admit, my motivation for sharing much of anything, much less my thoughts on this topic, has waned considerably since September. Beyond back-to-back health issues that continue to be a deterrent, and beyond a whole other range of interferences that plague my mind daily, I find myself in the middle of a mental space quite foreign to me. A consuming, dark space that I’ve observed others to be in, but that I, myself, had only witnessed. A space that if left uncheck can be the downfall of even the strongest among us. A space called apathy. Just like everyone else, I've had my fair share of dark times. And like many others, I failed to heed the warnings of “placing all your eggs in one basket,” and poured myself into one endeavor after another, nimbly jumping to another for support (mental, emotional, financial, etc.) when the other’s support wasn’t as strong as before. This little dance seemed to be going pretty well --
