I feel empty.
I've never sobbed over something political. I've never felt personally victimized by the country I grew up in. Not the America where everyone was welcome and the dream was to be all you could be, as you were. I've never been so ashamed. I'm so sorry for all of my LGBTQ+, POC, and survivor friends and peers. I'm so sorry.
The American Dream has died, and it has taken a piece of me with it.

I feel it has taken a piece of so many of us.
The fear I see and the fear I feel from all those around me is absolutely suffocating. From women, to lovely people of color, to LGBTQ+, to my Muslim friends who are the sweetest of people, to the Mexican side of my family.
There is just so much fear. So much agonizing fear. And I don't know if I can look at my country and say I love it. Say that I am prideful in it. Because right now I want nothing more than to go back in time and find a way to be born in another country - Canada. Canada looks nice.
This election terrifies me. It scares me that I might have to be afraid of being myself. Of being an LGBTQ+ hispanic (3/8 Hispanic but boy do I look mostly hispanic) women.
And people shouldn't have to be afraid of being who they are - their sexuality, their skin color, their gender.
I am so... speechless.
