Election Day
It's 12:45am on election day and i'm wondering how this day will play out? what will change from today to tomorrow? This year was the first year I had the pleasure to be able to vote in a presidential election. I know i'm going to be very anxious today as the hours pass, I had a big opinion on who i believed should win and what propositions I did and did not want to pass. I am proud though, no matter the outcome, to have voted and helped ensure democracy exists one more year. I can't wait though to see and hear all the results, i'll post again as soon as they are all known. And i would like to leave everyone who reads this with a quote that i have thought through this entire election, Dylan Thomas once said :
"Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. "
I really like this and it reminds me that no matter how dark things are, that I should never give up. And in this election as my opinion becomes greater and i become more anxious, at least i never gave up hope, I raged against the dying of the light.
