Sunsets always cause me anxiety.

My bestfriend of 10 years loves it, but I always told him I prefer sunrises.

Maybe it's the idea of endings, as the sun bids goodbye through the horizon. The vibrancy and energy of people and places from the daily motions slowly fades into the dim evening. Maybe, it's because I've always hated goodbyes, and my therapist would probably remind me it's from my abandonment issues as a child.

But, for some reason I still cannot figure out, the sunsets from this place I fondly call my ocean home never caused me any anxiety. If anything, it has always brought me peace - the safe and calm kind. It's the only place and moment where the violent and loud tsunamis inside of me comes to a smooth, tranquil rest.

PANATAG

• adj. tranquil, peaceful, at peace; self assurance

When I hurt so, so, so much, I take refuge in these moments. In my pensive, I draw them out and re-live it one by one: the sound of the waves crashing gently on the shore, the smell of salt water and the cold breeze brushing my shoulders and legs, the wonderful colors at the horizon, the distant sounds of life from the nearby houses, the glimmer of lights from the land across, and the unfamiliar warmth of my fingertips finally free from the dots of anxiety it always holds.

There will be better days. I'll hold on to these moments as I wait on the next. Until then, I'll keep fighting for the will to keep living.

Let the dementors come. I'll keep on conjuring my patronus with these ones.

“I’ve had horrible luck finding a husband.  Most marriages in this country are traditional, and I have a middleman who arranges interviews with potential suitors.  He probably thinks I’m a snob.  Because I either turn the men down or scare them off.  But you should hear the questions they ask me.  Nothing about personality.  Nothing about character.  Everything is about money: ‘What is your salary?’,  ‘Do you have a car?,  ‘Is this your only apartment?’  I used to answer these questions, but I’m much harsher now.  I’ll dismiss them right away.  I’ve had men ask me to stop working.  I had a professor ask me to stop studying because I have more degrees than him.  Another man ended the interview when he learned that my ‘doctorate’ did not mean I was a medical doctor.  It’s ridiculous.  Some friends and family want me to settle for the sake of having children.  But I have a viewpoint, and I’m not going to sacrifice that viewpoint just because I’m getting older.  I believe in marriage.  And I’d like children.  But if it means I have to accept anything, maybe it’s best to not get married at all.” (Alexandria, Egypt)

Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.

Meanwhile, Trump’s inauguration was literally the most watched program in American history at 31.1 million viewers

[king-jarrod]

The most watched program in American history at 115.2 million viewers was Super Bowl XLIX on February 1, 2015. And the only non-sporting event that made the top 20 of most watched broadcasts was at number 8 the M*A*S*H finale on February 28, 1983 with 105.9 million viewers. Trump’s inauguration wasn’t even the most viewed inauguration, that goes to President Reagan’s first inauguration with nearly 42 million viewers, the second most watched inauguration goes to President Obama’s first inauguration with 37 million viewers. So Trump’s inauguration was very far from “literally the most watched program in American history” as you put it.
