(no subject)
i must admit im really emo.
ive lost most, if not all, my faith in america, as a whole.
i feel naive to think that maybe peace, acceptance, something, me, was in the majority... but obviously not.
i mean, its not really about the president. like, im upset about that, but if he got the popular vote as well, then, he deserves it. im just happy people went out and voted... yes, now my life as a girl, will be harder, and a bit more complicated, but thats something else to be upset about.
what upsets me most is the ban on gay marriage. all 11 states passed that. all 11. i mean, we werent even giving gays the right to get married, there was just no ban. but now its in 11 states constitutions. oregon being one of them. and that just makes me sad. why cant people just let other people be, and be happy?
another thing that makes me upset is that only 18% of young people voted. 18%. that makes me really sad, because that could have made a lot of things different. sure, neither candidate was great, but what about local elections? and sure, that might not be important, but how can you even expect your voice to be heard if you dont talk? i dont know, i just think that if you didnt try to change it, you shouldnt talk badly about it.
but like my dad says, if i want to see change, i have to work for it... so i signed up to volunteer for planned parenthood and talk to people about being pro choice.
im just dissapointed.
