Somewhat disappointed but there is always a next time

I ran into some hurdles that I couldn’t do anything about. I researched all day on candidates. But because of some factors out of my control. What you don’t know can sometimes hurt you. I can’t go vote today. I’m not going to cry. Next time i won’t be stopped next time. #vote #hurdles

5/15 Edited to

... Read moreEncountering obstacles during important civic duties like voting can be deeply frustrating, especially when circumstances beyond your control intervene. From my experience, it's essential to remember that setbacks do not define us or our commitment to participating in democracy. Before election day, I dedicated significant time to researching candidates to make an informed decision. However, unforeseen factors—such as registration issues or misinformation—can sometimes prevent even the most prepared voter from casting their ballot. What I've learned is that staying informed about the voting process itself is just as critical as learning about the candidates. Things like verifying registration status well ahead of time, understanding identification requirements, and knowing alternate voting options (mail-in ballots, early voting) can help avoid last-minute surprises. Moreover, emotional resilience plays a key role. While feeling disappointed is natural, channeling that energy toward proactive steps ensures readiness for the next opportunity. Engaging with local election offices or community groups can provide timely updates and assistance. Sharing experiences within your community builds awareness and helps dismantle hurdles collectively. Remember, every attempt to vote counts toward strengthening democracy. Even when faced with challenges, the commitment to participate remains powerful. By preparing thoroughly and learning from each experience, we can ensure that "next time" is successful and that no obstacle stops us from making our voices heard.

Customer photos! My replica eye jewelry next to the real thing :’)
Painting from photos can be somewhat limiting, as the camera and monitor alter colors, and eye colors are always shifting a bit depending on the lighting (especially cat eyes). That being said, it’s always exciting for me when I see that they match in person as well!

"A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas has received a lot of buzz, but for me, it didn't meet the lofty expectations it was hyped up to have. The idea of a modern take on Beauty and the Beast is interesting, but the way it was done felt underwhelming. The story dragged at times,
