Goodbye 2024, Hello 2025
Dec. 31st, 2024 12:02 am...I'll be honest with you guys, I'm not looking forward to 2025 or the three years after that. Personally, 2024 was another fairly good year for me...until America decided to let the orange manbaby run for president despite a literal mountain of evidence proving he is completely and utterly unfit to run a country. No, I'm still not over this and I probably never will be. I'm legitimately scared not just for myself and for my family, but for everyone Trump's awful policies and changes are going to affect. Immigrants, women, LGBT people, the disabled, people of color, no one is safe. I know there isn't much I can do on my own, and I hate that my country would much rather have a convicted criminal run the country than someone more competent and compassionate. Like, I am legitimately ashamed as an American. He's probably going to allow everything from book banning (Which we're already seeing no thanks to Ron DeSantis and his tyranny over Florida), putting people in internment camps, and denying women basic autonomy over their bodies. Knowing what he might do, it's honestly hard to say Happy New Year when we all know Trump isn't going to make 2025 a happy new year for...well, everyone.
At this point, I'm just going to try and survive. Find what little pockets of happiness are still there, and try to help anyone who needs it, even if I'm not able to do much besides offer words of support through a computer. I wish I could do more, I really do. I have several friends who are likely going to be affected by the manbaby's new policies, and I hate that there isn't anything I can really do for them that'll actually help them. But I'll be damned if I don't at least try. People, even when things are hard, be kind to each other. You can save lives with kindness. Honestly, the only reason I'm even looking forward to 2025 in any capacity are the anime I want to watch, books and manga I want to read, and games that are coming out, some of which come out in January, like the Tales of Graces F remaster, or the Switch version of Hello Kitty Island Adventure. I know I'm sure as hell getting Atelier Yumia and the new Rune Factory spin-off games. So yeah, have no real hopes for 2025 myself, but I'm gonna try to make the best of it.
