I can't believe we are finally here. I can't believe it's almost over. I wasn't going to post anything today... and was considering taking the week off (I probably still will) but I just wanted to come on here and tell you to VOTE.
It is our right as Americans to vote... and we're voting for more than the president. There are tons of local representatives on the ballot, senators, and other government officials. I would argue that those are even more important than the president because that's where we see real change.
I voted this morning at my local polling place, down the block from my house. I waited for today because honestly, early voting was a little confusing to me. I tried to do it on Sunday but the location was super crowded, there was no direction and it was raining. I felt much more comfortable in my local place where I've voted before.
The line was not as long as I expected but much longer than past elections. A lot has to do with Covid, a lot has to do with the fact that this election has record breaking turnouts. The entire process took me 40 minutes and I was near tears leaving, praying for change in our country.
I will spend the day working, trying to distract myself from what is going to be a make or break election. I'm honestly terrified so work is a good distraction. Tonight, I will not watch the news, read a book, and take some CBD gummies to hopefully pass out by 9 PM.
Tomorrow... we'll see what we wake up too. Let's hope it's positive change.
For now, get out and vote like your life depends on it.
xoxo
