Just saw my cats on my way back from voting. Tears falling like a crazy person. Don't know. Feel like a big old softy. Miss them. Miss that house. It's easier to be away. That way my heart isn't quite as open and exposed. I feel raw.
But I voted. It was the worst I've ever felt voting. I don't agree with any of the candidates. I don't really respect any of them all that much. I had to go with one that I didn't fully trust or want. I hate that. I hate the cynicism and frustration that I feel. I listened to the debates and I just felt empty and unconvinced. I am happy for not voting strickly out of fear of 1 bad guy winning. I didn't feel that need this time so I did vote for who I felt would best serve us. I still don't think he is right, though. Blah. Man, I hope reform is coming. I want to believe. Then again, it would be great to believe in karma or some greater force that will make everything better and that's never going to happen either. I guess there's a point where you just have to give up the optimism and idealism of your youth. I must finally be there.
