I'm tired. I didn't want to write about the election this week. So I'm not going to. Instead, I will share some quotes about the election that I've collected.

"Last night I watched a group of boys in red hats laugh at a table of girls crying next to them. How telling. How upsetting. How frightening."

"The country has spoken. I guess I am just another p**** to grab."

"Love. ALWAYS. Trumps. Hate."

"Differences of political ideals are one thing, I can agree to disagree on many matters across a wide array of topics, but racism isn’t one of them, neither is hate, neither is the belittling of women or the judgment of others based on their appearance or their disability, or their sexual preference."

"To every single woman that I have ever met, gotten to know, or loved; to the daughter that I may have one day; to my mom and grandmothers who taught me to believe in people and push for greatness-- I'm sorry."

"My entire life, my dad has taught me not to cry. My entire life my parents told me that if I worked hard and didn't give up, everything would work itself out....My heart is heavy, and tonight I forget what my dad has taught me. Tonight I cried. But I won't let this setback deter me from moving forward."

"Do not let this defeat you—let this enrage you! Let it motivate you! Let this be the fire you didn’t have before."

"Breaks my heart. Thank you to all who have messaged me and checked up on me."

"To my LGBTQ family and friends: please know you are loved beyond measure."

"There are not enough tears. I'm scared for my safety. NO ONE should feel this way."

"These last few days have been stressful. Take some time to read that poem that moves you in new ways every time you read it. Talk to that friend who always makes you laugh. Lay in bed and take the best nap ever. Or just listen to the song that never fails to uplift you. We got work to do, but take care of yourself first."

"Hate won last night."

"I stand with people of color, women, Muslims, and the LGBTQ community because our differences make us beautiful."

"My heart really hurts."

"I can honestly say that I have never been more afraid for my future as a young woman and as a member of the LGBTQ community. "

"I always talk about not feeling hopeless. I forgot what it was like."

And the last and most important quote of the bunch:

"To all the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams."
