...I feel like crying right now.  It took me days to compose that post and edit it to my liking and that actually is the condensed version. If you don't feel like reading it, just politely click the up-vote button in the bottom-left corner of the post in question and I'll never know the difference and feel better.

At least you posted it! It's good to get things of your chest. So many times I have second thoughts and cancel a post or loose them by waiting too long (accidentally close the browser or Windows reboots)

Feel better, it's easy to fall into negative feelings. My wife struggles with that a lot, I have as well. But we always move on, look for the good things. There are lots of good people in the world, try not to focus on the bad ones. Growing a thick skin is still required in today's society.

I'm going back to the Burning Shores (Horizon Forbidden West) to distract myself for a bit :)

As one with ADHD myself, believe me when I say that I relate to not always finishing things you start. But I basically forced myself this time since I hinted earlier that I might write such a post summing up my broad feelings about this election overall and what its implications were and kept feeling guilty about not following through.

"Look for the good things" is great advice. That's what you have to do. You have to learn to accept the things in life you can't change and make the best of them. Definitely easier said than done, but it's an attitude you learn through practice. I have to keep reminding myself to practice that.

Speaking of games, it's times like these when I like to revisit my comfort games a bit. My main one is Gone Home, which I have replayed this last week, but really any of my top narrative games will do. Sometimes I just need a good story experience that's familiar and no-pressure to lower the blood pressure and take the edge off.

Well anyway, enjoy Burning Shores!
