My brain knows this is the strategy, the tactic, to break us in order to control us. My heart can’t take it. My soul is exhausted.

I am full of an aching in my soul knowing that coming back from this—if we even can come back from this—will not happen in my lifetime. I am mourning the life I wanted, the life I want for my child, for my family, my community, my country.

I am constantly waiting for people to do the right thing, even when I know they won’t, but still being disappointed when they don’t. I feel helpless. I feel hopeless.
