Compared to six months ago, I feel:
Hopeful
Six months older, but otherwise the same.
Anxious
like we have not made any progress
Life moves and you gotta go with it!
Resigned to life not being the same for a long time, if ever.
Stagnant, stuck, sensitive.
Need to remain hopeful that the country can rid itself of this blood sucking parasite that is the President. Failure loser liar racist !
Mildly more optimistic
More stressed as we move closer towards reopening in-person learning, and as we get closer to the election.
Angry and sad regarding the leadership of our country.
concerned about the future of this country. Being nasty to one another seems to be acceptable rather than trying to find compromise.
Even less faith in Americans and covid
A lot more hopeless, unsure if where I am going
about the same
happier
more aware of how little I control
I am fortunate compared to many of my fellow citizens.
The Trump administration has lost even more of its credible voices, its behavior remains consistently stupid, but it six months closer to ending. Life is finite for the individual so my long-term concerns are for the younger members of my family who have had a taste of life and have the right to expect much more.
Exhausted, often confused, anxious, fearful
I don’t feel as overwhelmed!!
More complacent about the virus. We know more about it now, we have a better idea of how it spreads, how to stay safe. But we also know that it isn't going away anytime soon, so I've given in to the idea that this is likely going to change our social interactions for a long time, if not forever. As for everything else... It feels a little like this country has lost its mind and its soul. I'm struggling to stay optimistic that we can correct our course.
Hopeful that Biden/Harris will win and things will begin to improve as core issues are addressed
Happier, but much is that is due to a new living situation.
More hopeful that Biden will win the election and that the specific danger of Trump will be controlled/eliminated, leaving us to deal with the chronic and possibly unsolvable dangers of systemic racism, climate change, etc.; more open to the idea that our country is irreparably damaged and is, like every "great" empire before us, on its arc toward collapse (poetically synced with the ecological collapse for which our country is primarily responsible); a gnawing feeling that I should not have children because of climate change and the very real risk that I will become a climate refugee, and if not me, then certainly my kids; absolutely obsessed with getting a dog.
There is no improvement in overcoming the nation's issues vs 6 months ago
Determined to continue moving forward
More calm about COVID but more stressed about the election and how people are treating black people in America.
