21, 21, 21

Hello out there,

I keep seeing people talk about today being the 21st day in 2021, during the twenty-first century. It’s a pretty fun coincidence I have to admit.

Does it mean anything though? Truthfully, I’m not really a person who believes in luck or superstitions.

It’s just another day. Right?

Today’s a pretty special day actually. It’s the day after the new president was sworn into office.

I’m not one to talk about politics all that often. Some people might not like the new president and I understand your plight. I’m not particularly fond of him either but compared to the alternative… I think we came out on top in this instance.

Mr. Trump was not a good president. There’s a huge list of the atrocities he has committed but the LGBTQ+ community has suffered more under Trumps presidency than any other group.

When the sun came up this morning I’m sure that a large portion of the US population collectively sighed in relief. I’ve talked about my role in the LGBT+ group and I don’t want to delve into that again. However, I did want to mention that when my eyes opened as the sun rose I felt lighter somehow.

Today is the beginning of a needed healing The US really needs to step up. Biden promised to remove the restrictions that the trump administration weaseled in.

I’ve been so scared the last four years of my life. Scared that someone who had been encouraged by Trump would do me harm. I feel lucky that I had a family that helped me through it.

The problem is that when you enact laws against a certain group that group is then under a magnifying glass. When the laws went up hate crimes against LGBTQ+ people went up. So you can probably see why I was horrified.

The waiting game has started and I’m ready for the healing take its course.

This is mostly me venting but thank you for reading along. Have a wonderful evening!
