As I recieve an IM I realize what this feeling is. It is a feeling of numbness, like how I feel when I take my focalin. Perhaps this is because I was unable to vote and I had/have no say in who will be leading me or this nation. And that is scary to me. Comment if you think this is irrational, or offer your thoughts. Don't give me hate because I support, just offer constructive words.

The World is a-changing, or will be...
I awoke today with the sun shining in my face. I got up and stretched, and it hit me like a brick to the stomach. History will occur today. And this feeling hasn't left me since. I was walking back from class, and as the sun set, with brilliant colors, I felt like the sun is chrushing down on my chest, and I can't catch my breath. But you have to ask yourself "What does this election mean to me?" I think that this election is so important because we have essentially grown up in war. And we had no choice about who was to lead us into this war, and now that we have a choice, it seems like our civic responsibility. And when people don't vote just because they don't want to, I am filled with such RAGE! I would kill to vote, but apparently Texas doesn't believe in absentee ballots.
