There is no guidebook.
There is nobody who can tell you that it's going to be okay.
And so facing up against all
All of those possibilities and the unpredictability of this moment is really emotionally taxing.
And it is okay to sometimes feel like it is not going to work out as you would like it to.
The thing is, is that it so often does.
And the thing to remind yourself is that those worst case scenarios that your brain is cooking up, that they're trying to protect you,
aren't always going to come true.
And in fact, most of the time it is better than you expected, or it is in fact just neutral and you end up coping anyways.
So it's totally normal.
You will make it through this.
Do not let your anxiety dominate all the other good things that are happening in your life.
And when it comes to your anxieties about the future, about political uncertainty, about global uncertainty,
And again, I keep saying give yourself some grace, but just please do remind yourself and please do remember that there is good in the world, that people are actively taking care of problems, looking out for problems, helping people in their community.
You can be one of those people.
And then additionally, you know, sometimes it is okay to take a break from that and it is okay to not always be plugged in to all the terrors of the world.
If it means that you can be a better community member, if it means that you can do more for the people around you.
So that is me getting off my soapbox.
We are done for the day.
I hope that this has made you feel a little bit better about whatever is going on in your life and how you're feeling about the world around you.
