    Someone said that the best way to protest as minorities is to keep living and not change or hide who we are during this time. And that is what I'm going to do. As a gay/nonbinary person, I am scared. I don't want my existence to be a hot topic for political gain, but it is. I will keep fighting, love who I love, and identify as I am. I have been the happiest I've ever been when being my true, authentic self, and I will not let this hate change that for me. So if you are a woman, a person of color, from different parts of the world, gay, trans, etc., don't change, and stand up for yourself. As Mikayla said, keep fighting and push harder, and we will be there for each other. You are loved and so very important.

      this!!! the only thing we have to do to resist is live, and it shouldn't be like that but it is. but out resistance being living is almost beautiful in a way, its like saying to the world that we will never change no matter what stands in our way :)

    I like how u didn't fake like other people that their life is perfect and all u also expressed ur feelings and emotions. This video inspired me alot as I'm also trying to get my life back together. The main problem is I'm always scrolling and then later have major headaches which affects the whole day. So i really liked this video.

    Thank you for posting this, today I couldn't stop crying because I felt lazy and everyone was posting about "locking in" and how you just needed to "work hard" I got myself a matcha and went to book club, which made me feel better but I still feel like I can't do any of my responsibilities. It's nice to know I'm not alone in feeling miserable and needing self care.

    I know I’m not fully impacted as a Canadian but I can’t help but feel sadness and anger for the women and poc in America.

    I absolutely needed this this week more than anything in this world. I literally needed something similar to this to know that I was not alone. I deleted my social media(at least the ones I were on more than four hours a day) and found our alternatives for social media just because I was getting too wrapped up within politics. I’m also trying to attempt different outlets like a TH-cam channel (It’s not on this account lol) I genuinely feel so lost but seeing you take a few steps it’s just so helpful and starting to get back on track. Thank you.

    Mikayla! I love your content so much, and appreciate this so much. I will be mourning the state of our country for the next years to come. I cried last Tuesday and then on Wednesday when my research advisor told me to start looking for graduate school options outside of the country, it broke me. Im heart broken for all of us as a 1st gen Latina whose parents sacrificed so much and built themselves up from absolute nothing. We will get through this, and we will work harder than ever before. And I am so glad that there is people like you out there doing the work their doing. Never stop, we love you! La lucha continua!

    @Catecurrier 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I appreciate your honesty. Also, I agree that taking a break from social media is a good thing during election season. It can often create an echo chamber, in which everyone’s thoughts and opinions are mirrored back, and it can get very frustrating to think about the reality of the situation when “everyone” shares the same opinions as you. I have felt in a slump recently for other reasons, and I still think your channel is one of comfort.❤

    This election has made me realize that my life will get harder so I need to lock in.
    I currently live in a youth shelter in NYC and am hoping to get a job and have my own place. But with the way that the economy is going, I think know if I’ll get out of this. I’m scared, I’m unprepared and this is very scary for me. Not knowing if you’re gonna eat or not, I’m running out of clothes. But your channel is my escape so thank you! ❤
