I’m more heartbroken than surprised. More devastated than surprised. More sullen than surprised. Nothing seems to matter anymore.

Agreed. I recently posted about not being surprised when people act exactly as expected, and I needed that reminderβ€”though I didn’t realize how quickly I’d have to apply it.

I’m nauseated over what’s happening now and what’s likely to come.

Hi, I’m God.

I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.

No. It’s about lots of people we interact with. Nobody specifically.

Also, a reminder to myself.

Stop being surprised when people act exactly as you anticipated.
