Dear Amy Schumer
(an open letter, or, Why I Am Not Broken Hearted to have a New Baby in This Crazy, Messed-Up World.) I saw you this election year. You were on fire. You were using your time in the public spotlight to stand for and promote what you so strongly believe in. You stood alongside your choice for the presidential race, and you campaigned right through voting day. I'm with you (kinda). I think that women are strong, capable, powerful, and wise world-shakers. It's astounding to think that just a "few" years ago, women were not even allowed to vote in this country, yet here we are and women are holding political offices and running for president. Then, like you, I watched in disbelief as Donald Trump was elected president of the United States. However, unlike you, I wasn't devastated. I was not hopeless. I did not spend that night or the next few days in mourning. And I most certainly am not broken hearted to have given birth to my son the same year that
