    Wish I could just be lazy and have the troubles go away, but that isn’t how it works.

    I feel this so hard. I’ve been more active this year than ever, and it takes so much out of me to socialize. But I’ve been giving talks, canvassing, and attending protests because we really don’t have a choice anymore. This government sure as hell isn’t interested in helping anyone, so it’s all on us.

      I was raised in rural territory, having no neighbors or childhood friends. To say the least, figuring how out to socialize is a bit…problematic. Is it proper to deny sharing a first name when asked by a random dude who fist-bumped me at the library for just telling him the opening time? I do not know.

      Getting out of my shell is going to be weird.
