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 ♥️.
I’ve heard two pops and that’s about it… I think most people in LA (at least my area) are still a little too traumatized by the fires to want to play around with fireworks. They’re doing drone shows in a lot of areas now.
In my neighborhood it is a constant rumble 0_0 so it’s definitely not the same everywhere around LA.
