I'm hoping it'll be better for me despite everything going on politically. I should be done with a treatment that, fingers tentatively crossed, will help my depression, my therapist just entered a pact with me and we're both gonna start walking four times a week at minimum, and I'll hopefully have dropped the ten pounds in trying to lose by then.

Of course, I'm American, so probably none of this matters if the GOP takes control. People like me are first on the chopping block for conservative genocide, and part of project 2025 is to completely eliminate any and all legal protections for people like me.

So, I hope it'll be better and I won't get hate murdered. Fingers crossed!

While it's not feasible for everyone. Getting a dog was the best thing for my emotional and physical well being. My dog tripped the steps I get per day. Plus, she's a relentless alarm clock in the morning.

If shit box wins, buy a shot gun, first thing on my list. Better than a hand gun for home defense.
