Whenever I see Zohran Mamdani, my mind immediately feels a little happier. His smile is like sunshine in the middle of winter.
I’ve never been more invested in a mayoral race, especially since I don’t & have never lived there!

I really miss living alone. I miss my apartment. I miss my independence. I’m grateful my parents are letting me stay here until I can find an apartment, but I’m definitely going to go insane before that happens.

Look what happens when the sunrise hits the hills before it hits us down below. The contrast this morning was so vivid!

Gosh, when I heard a veteran was running for Collins’ seat I was like β€œgreat another Jared golden” but I was wrong. I’m loving what Platner has to say & I think he’s just what we need right now, someone to fight for us #UnshuckTheSystem

This has been the hardest year since I lost Jack, which will forever be the worst year of my life. I still have 3 cats to care for, so I force myself to keep getting up every day, but I feel like I’ve fallen in quicksand & will slowly sink until there’s nothing left.
