Believe me, It's not because I am not patriotic, I am very much so. I was both in the Military and Law Enforcement. Because of this, I have crippling anxiety and PTSD. I'm sure some of my Military buddies can attest to how horrible this is.
I'm shaking like a leaf and can hardly type. The fireworks, I know they are fireworks, but my brain screams, "Gunfire, get down!" That whole fight or flight response.
So... I don't celebrate, I don't go outside, I most definitely do not watch the show. Plus, here in Las Vegas, you really never know if it is a gunshot or not. So much crime...
Anyway, Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans or Happy Treason Day for my English friends. 馃榿
