Okay.

Okay.

I want everyone to take a deep breath, Lean away from your computer, put your phone down for a moment, and just breathe.

It’s really easy to go into a downhill spiral, especially on this website, because everything bad is filling up your dashboard, one post after another, and this is very, very overwhelming.

It’s okay. I promise it’s okay. We still have community, we still have each other, we still have reason and rightness. It’s okay. 

Take a deep breath. Exhale slowly. Text someone important to you, hug someone close to you, stretch, eat a snack, play a game. It’s okay. It’s okay. 

Be conservative about the amount of negativity you let yourself see tonight. it’s all bad, but it all says the same thing. It’s okay. I’m here, you’re here, let your brain breathe for a second.
