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 ♥️.
barely heard anything this year. People don’t feel like there is anything to celebrate
edit: curious about the geographic variance here. This is a blue state
I live in a red state, fireworks everywhere
London, UK. We had fireworks last night. Never heard them here before for this, I got confused and assumed it was a second ramadan this year
