Exhale …

It’s strange to me to think all children born after this will only know an America that has elected a black president.

What a high.

I feel like we’ve been given a second chance in this country, and that this more than makes up for the devastation of 2004.  I feel optimistic for the first time in a long while, about a country that I love so much, but which has disappointed me for so long.

Call me what you will – call me an elitist, call me liberal snob, call me whatever you want, but I knew that this country could do better, and it finally has.

What. a high.
