On Optimism
I don’t normally talk about who I support in elections. I usually prefer to play my cards close to my chest, since I don’t mind if someone votes for the other guy.
But tonight is different. Tonight, Barack Obama won.
Tonight, my country is eighteen years old again. Tonight, the future is an open book and the possibilities are limitless. Tonight, we can unite.
Tomorrow, we’ll go back to our bickering, our anger, our finger-pointing, our petty squabbles, our cynicism.
But tonight—just tonight—things are looking up. For the first time in what seems like forever, things look…hopeful.
Mahalo.
