In the aftermath of the election results, I found myself scrolling through social media searching for hope. The stark division in our country became painfully apparent through my husband's celebratory post, which felt like a personal betrayal.
Despite my request for him to take down the post, I got a mixed response from my husband. He apologized and offered me a cup of coffee, but I couldn't help but feel that he didn't fully grasp the implications of the choice he made at the polls.
In a world that feels overwhelmingly dark, Kamala Harris’s words resonated with me: 'Only when it's dark enough can you see the stars.' I realized that, even in hardship, we must continue to create and shine our lights.
After his victory, I felt deeply disconnected from my husband and his family, needing to take space from our differences to protect my own emotional well-being.
