Some Positive Thoughts:

• It’s going to be alright. Will people be stressed about money and jobs and childcare and food, yes. Will there be sadness and loss, yes. Will people step up to the challenge and help each other, yes. Will things go back to normal, yes.
• It’s only temporary. Will there be lasting effect, yes. Nothing in life is ever constant, we are always changing, as individuals and as a society. Don’t think about today, tomorrow, next week, or even next month. Look further than that, to next year and beyond.
• Things will get better. I promise they will. Sit down, get comfy, read a book, drink some coffee. Remind people you care about them, do something nice, text that “friend” you haven’t texted for years, ask if someone needs help.
• Have faith and trust in humanity. Despite the many (many) ways that things can go wrong, historically we always figure it out, eventually. There is not a single challenge in history that we have failed to sort out.
  

I will not be posting about the thing any more. Purposely avoiding any trigger words here in case anyone is blocking them. All of you know about it by now, you’ve had media-overload and I do feel like everyone is taking it with the right level of seriousness. If you haven’t realized you should take steps towards the greater social good, then I don’t know how to explain to you that you should care about other people.
