One of the best ways to combat How Everything Feels Awful Right Now is to do something on a regular basis that helps others directly. Whether you go out and volunteer at a soup kitchen or stay home and volunteer for a helpline, those actions create hope & make positive changes feel attainable.

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.
