I’ve chosen to look for, and amplify positive messages. And when I’ve elected to return to social media for short periods of time, I’ve made strategic choices about what I read. I’ve chosen to limit my time on social media so as not to be further scared or agitated by someone else’s public expression of their feelings. And this is how this person has chosen to express their fear. And I’ve thought to myself, This person is afraid. In many cases, however, I’ve taken what I’ve read for what it was – someone’s fearful words put out into the world. In some cases, what I’ve read has been informative. I’ve read a lot of responses to fear online – on social media, and on other platforms. Many people – half of the country, for whom things did not go according to our plan on election day – are afraid.
I haven’t known what I wanted to say about the last couple of months.
