Hey, I know this isn’t Star Trek related, but there is a Lot going on right now. Ballots need to be counted in the US election, there’s infighting in the far right and the left. The pandemic is still going on and there’s a lot of factors at play right now that have no quick resolve. And it’s stressful and scary and numbing and overwhelming.
Take a breath. A deep one; in and out. In for a count of 7, hold for 5, out for 8.
In this moment, you are safe. In this moment, things are still hopeful (and they will be , regardless of the results. We aren’t quitters, and we’ve proved that over and over). We will adapt, we will thrive, we will fight. Take some rest, drink some water, have a snack, take a nap.
You’re alive in one of the the most stressful times to be alive. You’re allowed to feel whatever you’re feeling. Be kind to yourself, and to others. You deserve it.
