An odd part of the last few years is my realization that I am living in a culture where the bad guys won and are still largely dictating policy. The odd thing about it is how much better it makes me feel to just accept that, and to accept that we are living in dystopian times. It allows me to pull strategies from those stories like Fallout, where people find crumbs of kindness and morality in a wasteland...
The acceptance that I am small and powerful only on a small scale has been a relief from the imposter syndrome of... being able to save the world if only I try hard enough. I can't. I'm not a hero, and I'm not that powerful. It makes me think more within my small power, and what I can do with that.
