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 ♥️.
This year has been quieter than the last few; the booms not as big, and not as many in the past week. People are much poorer around here is my takeaway
Yeah, I’m not even hearing the idiot in the next neighborhood shoot his gun at the sky.
Also some people are not wanting to draw any attention to themselves. And others realized wildfires can happen in regular neighborhoods, not just in the wild.
