Post-Election Thoughts //

November 10, 2016 by Rachel 12 Comments

It’s been a hard week, y’all. I’ve been writing and writing and writing. I just can’t seem to hit “publish.” And maybe it’s best that way. Maybe it’s best to just sit on our thoughts…

But yesterday I broke my silence. After many tears, and in the process of mourning, I finally made some decisions. I decided that I don’t want to remain quiet any longer. I’ve always considered myself to be progressive, but I’ve finally acknowledged that I am, indeed, a feminist.

There. I said it. I’m acknowledging it.

And, through months and months of arguing with people during the campaign, I finally opened up civil dialogue about my thoughts and feelings. I summed it up in this post…

Surprisingly, it went swimmingly. Granted, there were two ridiculously aggressive commenters. But those comments were immediately deleted and those people unfriended.

Some may think, “Really? You *had* to unfriend them??”

And, to that, I answer, YES. Yes, I had to. I am so done. If they can’t engage in civil discourse then there is no need for me to engage with them; and there is no need for me to remain acquaintances with them. Heck, I just had to distance myself from a (not very close) family member!

Done and done!

So if you  need me, here’s where I’ll be:

  • Supporting all of my LGBTQ friends — and letting them know that I am an ally.
  • Seeking out and truly getting to know my local politicians — and getting involved in local movements I can get behind!
  • Get 1000% more involved in my local community in general.
  • Standing up for women. I’m no longer going to be a closet-feminist. Ya know why?? Bitches get stuff done!
  • Speaking out about the fear that women go through on a daily basis.

These are just a few things I plan on doing. Seriously. This list will grow. So be warned, friends. I hope you’ll stay with me on this journey. It’s a journey of acceptance, love, and moving forward. xo

 

 

PS. You don’t have to be a HRC supporter to support the above quote from her concession speech yesterday.
