It took a minute to find some inspiration for this post. It seems that the overwhelm I feel with the current political climate has made my brain into a mush sandwich. It reminds me of when the Covid-19 Pandemic caused world-wide confusion and changes for our daily routines. I found myself stuck in a rut without any motivation due to the virus, and I have no motivation now due to…another virus, this one in the form of a man, consequently the same man who nonchalantly brushed off the Pandemic and the thousands of Americans dying each day like water on a duck’s back.

Two years ago, in December of 2021 I spent the Christmas and New Year’s holidays by myself, exploring the countryside and cities of North Carolina, searching for places to feel like I belonged, for a place I could call my home. It was a tumultuous time for me. I was still grieving and trying to heal from the loss of my husband and my life in an unexpected divorce. My heart leaked with failure, depression, and pain. My mind urged me to run far away from the pain and memories of my past.
