Hello! Tonight I am taking a timeout from the live election coverage to do something that has always helped my anxiety, write, and if all of you are out there stressing over electoral votes then I hope you take a timeout to do something stress relieving as well. This election has hit me completely differently. Perhaps because this time I could vote.
Cute right? I feel like I am rooting for Biden even more then I was rooting for Clinton because this time I got to stand up and make my voice heard. Plus, over the last couple of months, I realized the value of being a strong independent woman and I think it's more than obvious that our current president sees very little value if any in that. I am now closing in on my third hour of watching live coverage and my anxiety level has been on the rise since polls started closing. I figured now was a good time to break out the coping mechanism. I hope everyone had a fun but safe Halloween. My friends are so wonderful that they all got tested, and we were able to have a little get together and celebrate both Halloween and my new apartment together! I am so blessed to have them all. Also, I have officially started taking guests in the salon at school. Thus far I have only done my sister but I could have a random guest thrown at me at any moment, the thought of which still nauseates me a little bit but I know myself and I know that I learn best when I just dive right in and get at it. If you haven't already seen it, I have also been doing a lot of makeup. I have been enjoying exploring the more artistic side of it so peep my Insta if you haven't already. Other than that I have to say my life for the first time has been extremely routine. I am exhausted most days from standing all day but really I have no complaints besides that. I am learning that though it is vastly different from what I have grown accustomed to, a boring routine can be a beautiful thing. I am just now starting to trust my health. I go to sleep at night and instead of not thinking about the morning because god knows what will happen overnight, I typically fall asleep planning my morning routine. For quite a while I didn't trust that Trikafta would continue to work. I kept expecting to wake up one morning completely unable to breathe and I'd rush to the hospital just to be told I had some obscure allergy or a defect in my gene mutation or something that would make the drug completely useless to me. But I never did and I am finally coming around to the idea that I may not ever have that moment. Every day that I wake up and I can take a deep breath, a little bit more trust is built for me, and that is amazing. Anyway here are a few pics from Halloween and happy election day everyone!!
