It’s incredible that we’ve arrived at a place in the U.S. where all the richest man alive does all day is sit on his ass and post on his racist misogynistic microblogging site about how federal workers are “lazy” and “unproductive” while his toddler minions steal our data.

My mistakes are hardly life ending. In fact, my life is just beginning! I feel good about it :)

I've made some weird decisions out of anxiety and fear but there's huge relief in knowing that it hasn't ruined my life. And I still have support of lovely family and friends. I'm so grateful.
