These are the places where we're going to be able to have impact. These are the places where we're going to be able to be in community. These are the places where we're going to be able to be in power. And I say that as a person who is largely an introvert, you know, I'm a social extrovert in terms of like my work and all of that. But I'm not necessarily like a make a lot of new friends person.

I have my kind of trusted circle. But being connected in community is the way that this is going to feel less apocalyptic. And so allow yourself the benefit of that new energy. Allow yourself to imagine that there might be some interests that you haven't imagined that you can take up. And the thing is, we're all very busy people. So as you can imagine, I too am busy.

So I know you're wondering, well, where do you get all these time for hobbies? I schedule it in the same way that I schedule in work meetings and every other thing. And so then I just be like, look, it's already on the schedule. I got to do it. I paid for this class, this whatever. So that is my like non-political, political way of like sustaining yourself is build community with people.

And it is really hard for adults to make friends. It's hard to make adult friends. But maybe you won't make a bunch of new deep friends, but maybe you'll make a bunch of like social acquaintances in your community. And that really matters.
