by that i mean focusing on my family, kids, friends, job and newfound passion (also $$$ side hustle).
in general, i'm a positive, happy person so i know that has to be helping a lot to have kept me "normal" and relatively stress free during all of our current turmoil (covid, racist cops, bum ass president, etc). my new found passion for thrifting/vintage has definitely kept me busy and focused.
that said, i can't help but feel the weight of the importance of Tuesday. i know Biden isn't compelling to most (and i'm one of those folks), but if he loses, i TRULY fear where we are headed (no bshelly). like, shit is already bad and has been bad for decades or centuries if we're being honest but most people just looked away.
it is adding to my stress level.
while i'm not totally versed in the specifics and i'm sure there are a shit ton of issue i've not even thought of, it would be GREAT if America could take a cue from Chile and throw the constitution in the fire and write another one. there's no way a piece of paper (people treat the constitution like a god or something when it's TRULY a piece of paper some dudes wrote on) from 250 years ago based on ideals even older than that should be governing how we live. i mean, people say it's a living document but i mean, ain't much life left in it if any. i realized i have a better chance of walking from here to the moon than something like that happening in America, but can a man not wish. even if people were willing to do it, i feel like the country is too divided to come a consensus on rules for society in 2020.
