Perennial reminder that we're living with two major wars, brutal climate forecasts, rising nationalism, an alarming amount of dehumanizing rhetoric in general...

*on top* of your personal crises: your losses, your setbacks, your doubts, your shattered sense of hope in a better world.

It's not only OK for the sum total of awfulness to hit you hard - maybe daily -

It's also human.

It's how you're affirming that you're still here, trying your best, one day at time.

Cry, heart, but never break.
