I know it's because my circle is, well, my circle, but I am surrounded by people in life and online who are as shellshocked as me. Even my therapist and I spent half my session commiserating. I'm refusing news on TV and online, only looking at, watching, and listening to things that will not make me sadder or angrier.
"Just because you lost doesn't mean you're wrong." Helpful.
"We might not want to admit it, but this IS the America we live in now." Oddly semi-soothing.
My choice is to stay small and stay quiet until this can all be dealt with. I have it in me to deal with it, and so do you. We have to stand, at least for each other. Hard fights are good fights.
Whatever I find right in front of me, I will do my utmost to meet it with calm, kindness, intentionality and strength.
I will find at least one thing every day to be thankful for, and at least one thing that makes me genuinely happy.
Like crafting and crafters.
