So proud of my city. I see so much beauty in this dirty, historic, delicious, uncouth mass of contradictions. And I cried happy tears Saturday afternoon and again, watching our first female VP speak to all the black and brown little girls seeing a new possibility.
Four years ago, I wrote that we were in the "Upside Down"*. Yesterday, the song in my head was "The World Turned Upside Down" from Hamilton. Especially this part:
"Tens of thousands of people flood the streets
There are screams and church bells ringing"
And of course "We won, we won, we won, we won!"
I know there is a lot of work ahead. But I reveled in the relief for a day.
*Stranger Things reference that was relevant at the time. I'm not linking because I don't want to read it today.
