I dreamed about going to America and becoming an American citizen since I was a child. And everything seems to go in the wrong direction now. The fact that SO MANY people voted for someone like Donald Trump ruined the fantasy of America I had, I'll never look at it with the same eyes again.
I feel so disappointed and lost. Where should I go from here? Is moving to the USA still what I really want? Should I start to make plans for a different future? Canada maybe?
Ugh this meltdown is probably so random and ridiculous but I really needed to write it down again..

The meltdown is understandable and even us Americans are having quite the meltdown currently, I had a small one yesterday.

It's disappointing that we chose Trump in the end but at the same time I see why a lot of Americans did, not because they're racist/homophobic/misogynistic (though this election has definitely brought out the worst in a lot of people

) but because they're scared and are looking for someone that will defend them and not taking any **** from anyone - which Trump played into and won over those people. I say keep your head up and still look into the US for the future - especially bigger cities like NYC or Boston - but maybe look into Canada as well. It's always good to have options. We're all quite freaked out but I know I've accepted it for what it is now and am willing to give him a chance until he starts passing ******** legislation. We don't know what the future holds just yet under his presidency.
I don't know that I'm scared of Trump so much as I'm scared of his radical Republican followers since they're now quite unhinged and cocky now he's in office...we'll see if that calms down at all.
