Dear Future Daughter,

I’m sorry.

I am sorry that our country decided that a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, straight, male, white supremacist could lead the country better than a woman who told quite a few lies. I’m sorry our country decided that these two moronic, corrupt baboons were the best choices.

I’m sorry that I didn’t register on time to vote for what would have been the first female President of the United States. I’m sorry that it didn’t even matter that I didn’t vote. I’m sorry that this system is so broken that old white men were the deciding factors of your future.

I’m sorry that this world is filled with so much hate. I’m sorry there is little-to-nothing I can do to stop it. I’m sorry that you won’t be able to confidently celebrate your gender, sexuality, religious beliefs, or skin color if they are anything other than cisgender male, heterosexual, Catholic/Christian, or white. I’m sorry that history is repeating itself with the multiple racist, sexist, and homophobic acts that have already begun, having it only been one day with the face of hate as President-elect.

I love you and I’m sorry. You and the rest of your generation deserve better.

With All of My Love and Sincerest Apologies,
