I feel compelled to write this morning. I'm even emotional as I write; I have been since last night. (I hope no tears fall during my three classes today!)

what words can really say how this made me feel? i refer to them so but i find a loss of them so much when i read your thoughts! wow, perhaps. it's hard for me to imagine the joy that we are stepping closer to an equal nation, a United states of america. through all the madness and hatred and love that i have seen through these past few days, this is the only thing that has really shaken me.

All this time, a nation united but torn by tradition for the sake of tradition. we wouldn't dare elect anything other than a white male! that would be wrong! and now i see that face on the television and newspapers, the face of Change. And it gives me hope. Hope that he has brought change, whether he's aware or not.

I'll be honest, i don't look at this from a political stance, because i think that's a bad attitude to have. But from a different stance, a personal stance, i think America has made a good decision. People who not long ago had no rights, had to use a different bathroom, are now taking steps closer to equality. And i can't speak for them, because i do not know their pain they went through, but i can rejoice with them. Rejoicing that there is hope for change.

They have the steps they've deserved all along.
