Next steps. Build community. Here online and right nearby you. I try to look my neighbors in the eyes daily so that we see each other as humans. Take care of your inner peace. Resist. This will take years to evolve.

This might be a daily thing. Finding a center of peace amid the absurdity and horror might be the only way to move past paralysis, to see next steps, and act every time I have an opportunity.

It might be important to go ahead and cry. To let out the stress hormones. To find self compassion. To find compassion to share with others. To admit the fear and set it in the back seat.
