Thanks so much for reading! I completely agree, I'm really hoping that people take the time to vote this time around, because things really need to change, and I honestly don't know what will happen if we have another 4 years of this mess.
I hope you overcome your anxiety and all the other negative feelings you're feeling xx

omg thank you so much. I have to say, that out of all my diary posts, this one has been the most difficult to find words for? I don't want to come across as insensitive or as if it's "all about me", which is definitely not how I feel.
I hope that july treats you amazingly, thank you so much for reading and commenting 🙂 x

While 2020 has sucked, (Aside from what the world is going through I have had a lot of personal upheaval an tragedy) I try to be reflective and look at the bright side, one of which there is a reason for everything, and as a friend has said, 2020 is the year we see clearly, and I hope she is right. Good CAN come from tragedy, and I hope that will be the case with all of this and that we learn and grow and just BE better humans. Happy birthday sweets! I know what you mean! I also travel, but alas not this year, but again finding that bright side! I love that your family made you three cakes! You deserve it! I am so excited to hear about this project and that you are following your passions. That is awesome! Best of luck to you and I hope July is an amazing month for you! <3

I'm hoping your birthday was happy, that the rest of your birth month will be happy, and that all of your 26th birthday wishes have+will come true.
Best wishes with your new passion project!!!!
With respect to Black Lives Matter, the blatant racism, wanton killings and brutality visited on black people by police departments and the injustice system all over the country has been unconscionable. While it's good that more and more people are becoming aware of it, the blatant racism, assaults on human rights and authoritarianism of the Trump Administration are so horrendous that it's hard finding words to adequately describe the horror...
I hope we both manage to overcome our anxiety and feelings of being overwhelmed.
I think I feel much the same as you do... only way older and struggling with all that comes with that.
Hugs and kisses xx <3
