I too identify, empathize completely.

I too am bracing for the worst, and praying for the best.

I too will NOT be watching the shit show as it goes down on tv Cuz there will be plenty of opportunity to learn the final results and experience the outcome after today, either in celebratory fashion or the opposite.

I just want you to know, you are not alone..
