So, I cried?

Cried this morning watching the inauguration.

So?

I cried because I’m happy. I cried because I think Joe Biden is a person of genuine integrity. I cried because of Kamala Harris and all she represents.

Mainly, I believe I cried out of exhaustion.

Four years of Donald Trump was just … a lot. The meanness, followed by the pettiness, followed by the ugliness. The nightmarish impact he had on social media. The ineptitute when it come to governing, mixed with an authentic cruelty. I just … it was hard.

So I cried.

Proudly.
