Well, this is it folks. Halloween is tomorrow and Election Day is in 4 days. I am terrified, anxious, and just sick over the fact that I let politics get to me in this way. I cannot control what happens and that is inherently the core of my anxiety disorder.
I'm nervous for the outcome but I think I'm more nervous for the buildup and the come down; I'm nervous about the actual day and how a certain man in office will react if the news is bad for him. I'm nervous for riots and what some are saying will be a civil war.
I just hope that the winner is a winner in a landslide so we don't spend months arguing with family members and strangers on the internet over who the actual president of the United States is. I just want it all to be over and I truly do not know how I'm going to make it through the next few days.
I hope that these four years were a lesson and going forward, we can get back to true leadership and compassion, and get a handle on the pandemic that continues to wreck havoc on our country.
Ok, enough of that...
Tomorrow is Halloween and I'm excited! I'm headed to Sleep Hallow with my girlfriends for a very spooky, fun day and I'm really pumped. The day will probably end with candy, hot apple cider and my final viewing of Hocus Pocus.
Then, I spend the next month trying to hold onto fall while still being excited for Christmas and winter. I love Thanksgiving so much, and my birthday is on the 30th so I try to savor November as much as possible.
However, social media and the retail industry has seemingly decided to just forget about Thanksgiving entirely this year and head straight to Christmas but honestly, I'm not mad at it. 2020 has been bad enough, we could all use a little holiday joy.
That's enough rambling for now... let's get into it.
Pink Positivity of the Week
I did a nice amount of retail therapy this week, in the form of Stoney Clover Cozy Collection and the Sephora VIB Sale so those two things are bringing me joy. I also got brunch with my sorority sisters on Sunday and it just filled me with so much gratitude. I've known these women for almost 10 years (wow) and spending time with them really reminds me of the person I am, at my core. When I'm with them I am completely myself and just feel at home. It's a beautiful feeling.
