I am US-American, and (putting aside for a minute all the uncomfortable patriotism,) I am straight up not having a good time today with all the fireworks going off in my neighborhood. It’s literally just POP POP POP everywhere all at once. I’m sure lots of us are in the same boat.
I want to make this post to reaffirm that your feelings are valid. It’s your senses, your brain, your way of processing the world, and you have a right to be kind to yourself tonight if you’re struggling with US-American Independence Day fireworks.
Stay safe, and take care of yourselves ♥️.
We were on the river last night, almost under the fireworks like we were last year. My autistic daughter loves it. Still hates us doing karaoke in the house. :(
Haha I think I might be your daughter
