Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRASH OUT.
Folks are relying on you to be overstimulated, overwhelmed, & overcome so you won't resist.
Take breaks,
Take a breath,
Be intentional with how you spend your time.
Be effective with how you spend your energy.
Support each other
Rest, live, & fight another day.

Don’t let what we are witnessing harden you.
Yes it’s heartbreaking.
Yes it’s devastating.
Yes it’s painful.
That very pain that you are still able to feel is an affirmation of your humanity.
Fight to hold on to it.
Fight to maintain it.
Fight to keep your heart soft.
Remain fiercely human.
