tears again

2nd night in a row, middle of the night tears, again.

Also, headache. A problem I thought was tamed, once I started using the CPAP machine for sleep apnea. I forgot how not fun that was several times a week. Why now, again she asks?

This empath is not OK.

And yet, I am unwilling to look away. Tis the constant struggle for me. I NEED TO KNOW and I need to not know for just a bit. Knowing crushes my spirit. Not knowing crushes the essential Jenny. Fuck this is exhausting. And it’s JUST the beginning and the struggle is real – and for the love of GOD – I know, I know, I know this is all part of the plan. Break us down. One by one.

If you’re struggling today, as I am, just know this:

YOU HAVE NOT FAILED.

It’s the world that has failed.

Keep calm and bugger on.

All in this together. Sigh. My middle-of-the-night tears this time weren’t even for a specific reason. More of a “fuck, I’m awake and I remembered the state of the world” kind of crying. More of a “fuck, I’m awake and how fucking privileged am I to even be in a cozy bed to wake up in and cry because of the state of the world, when it’s not even immediately, currently affecting me” kind of crying.

Here’s how to stay in the fight:

📱 Use the 5 Calls app or Resist Bot to contact your elected officials daily.

🎤 Demand town halls. Show up at their public appearances.

🚫 Boycott evil corporations.

🗣️ Talk to your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.

🌳 Build community power.

And sometimes all you can do is BE — and that has to BE ok too.

“You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.” Maya Angelou

Be kind to yourself. Getting through is more than okay.🧡
