Not an American but my heart hurts for the women in america

I was feeling really depressed when I came across this :-


I said this in another thread today but I think it’s worth repeating.

I read this somewhere and it gives me some solace. I don’t even remember where.

“In the time of dragons, raise dragon slayers”. In other words, yes it’s a difficult time, but we have to rise to the occasion, we don’t have a choice.

I had my moment of sorrow, and on vacation no less, but I’m going to be resolute. This too shall pass and it’s our job to keep our resilience. Take breaks when you need it.

I also remember learning something in college that really resonated with me. It was about how everybody assumes that progress will eventually come, but that’s not true, it’s hard fought, there are set backs, sometimes it even goes “backward” but every generation has had of group of fighters for progress. You can decide to be one of them. I know I will. I’m here, and millions of other women too. I’m scared, but not defeated.
