“The morning after the world imploded, I got in my car to drive to work, but couldn't manage to turn over the engine.

I sat marinating in a numbing silence as the sun filtered through the trees, dappling the dashboard. I looked at those shimmering spots, at how brightly the morning contrasted the dark I felt so vividly in my heart, and I wondered how something like this could've happened. I wondered what this outcome would mean for my friends, my family, and my future.​

That was when I realized I couldn't just sit by and do nothing.”
