Hell

A Donald Trump Presidency

Hell

I envision Hell as a place where women's rights are slipping away. Where powerful, white men are able to dictate what women are able to do with their bodies. I envision Hell as a place where women are punished for having an abortion. And having an abortion will be completely nonexistent in the near future.

I envision Hell as a place where women are treated in misogynistic ways. Where rape is advertised and will soon be the new normal. Where it is okay to "grab women by the pussy" and call them horrible names. Where women feel unsafe walking alone at night because they don't know if they'll be alive the next morning.

I envision Hell as a place where it is okay to assume a woman is menstruating because she asks deep and meaningful questions. Where women's breasts are sexualized in lingerie advertisements and pornography but shamed when breastfeeding their infants because it is viewed as disgusting.

I envision Hell as a place where marginalized groups are treated with disrespect and inequality. Where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other individuals are treated as if they are nonexistent and don't have a place here. I envision Hell as a place where suicide rates are on the rise because these people would rather die than be who they really are. Because our society still fails to accept them.

I envision Hell as a place where the color of someone's skin determines if they are criminals. Where young, black men are the victims are police brutality. I envision Hell as a place where immigrants are viewed as rapists. Where children are taken away from their parents at the border and kept in cages. I envision Hell as a place where building a wall to keep hopeful people out of our country has become the rhetoric that we hear daily.

I envision Hell as a place where school shootings have become an everyday occurrence in our society. Where innocent students are shot and killed. I envision Hell as a place where parents must identify the corpses of their young children. Where parents have to bury their child because nothing is being done about gun violence. I envision Hell as a place where teachers die to save the lives of their students. Where thoughts of arming teachers with guns appear to be a good idea because apparently, it is the only way we can save lives.

I envision Hell as a place where the time for prayer must stop and the time for action must begin.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
