Now that some of the pressure is off, at least for now, and we have a bit of a lull... I've been processing a whole lot of emotions I was holding back. I think I had a "grim survival slog" mentality and was prepared to lose everything resisting. My old way of seeing the world has been shattered and I no longer have any trust for our institutions. The long descent has gone from being an abstract idea to a daily reality and it's been exhausting coming to terms with the world we really live in as opposed to the one I thought we lived in. The biggest struggle is the realization that there really isn't much I can do about a lot of it.
We've all lost so much, and we've become so divided we can't even mourn the loss of our old lives together. Our self-appointed lords and masters have a lot to answer for.
