So I usually consider myself fairly apolitical, but regardless of your views, this is an historic moment. I truly believe this will be my generation's first great societal fulcrum. I'm too young to know the differences in the world pre/post the Berlin Wall coming down. I didn't get to live during the race riots or the Free Love Era. I am getting to live through an African American being elected president, and it is giving me chills. There were massive celebrations outside metropolitan cities in ways that haven't been seen before. I plan on going to the Inauguration just because I want to see what will happen and want to experience being inside the creation of history...
I don't really know how to process or describe exactly what I feel due mostly to the fact that this all feels so incredibly unique.
