Love is Love is Love

I know loads of people are already tired of us talking about the election and how unhappy we are about it.  I know this, but at this point, it's our only recourse so we're going to keep talking. And when I saw this on social media this week, I just had to talk about it.  It's perfect.

With all the pain and suffering and anger and just plain meaness that I'm already seeing, I just want to tell people all of these things.  I want people to know that I don't believe in the hate.  I want people to know that I'm here for them and they shouldn't be afraid.  And while it might sound ridiculously naive, I hate that people are being made to feel like this. 

And since I'm being forced to live in a country (even though I'd love to make the move to the Shire...) where this seems to be the new norm, I'm choosing to live by the words of the great philosopher and all around genius, Lin Manuel Miranda - Love is Love is Love is Love is Love....
