Quick casual pep talk (Normal speaking voice)

Hi all! This is a quick, spontaneous BONUS video just in case anyone out there finds it helpful. This is not an ASMR production and the cam is shaky, but I hope it's calming to you in some small way. It won't take the place of any regularly scheduled content and is not intended to dismiss or dictate how you ought to feel. I just know all elections feel like wins and losses for all voters. Just because one of your candidates or issues prevailed, another may have been defeated. And I know all sides of the aisle are feeling apprehensive about how we come together after such a close, hard-fought election season. Many of you expressed this anxiety to me and this is for you guys. Wishing you what we all deserve: love, understanding, and a place where you know you belong.
And please, to the small number of folks who have expressed outrage and threats before even listening to this video: I am sure you have felt disheartened and distressed after elections in the past-I am sure your ballot did not go perfectly your way this time, top to bottom. Please try to zoom out and remember that there are people of every party, the big ones and especially the small ones, who might feel exhausted or frustrated by our political process. You may be happy about the overall outcome, but still disheartened at the distractions and fissures in our nation. I have always stood up for the validity of your feelings and I would ask you extend that courtesy to others.
