A letter to myself

Dear Me, My Self and I: Mere words do not capture the emotions and feelings that I have experienced this year. And yet, that’s okay. It’s okay not to have a full grasp of what has transpired these last 12 months. It’s okay to have more questions than answers.

I would direct the reader’s attention to the recent clown show, involving the “Stop the Steal” campaign that has been more about grifting, selling merchandise than it has…
