Was talking to my family about this and figured I’d share here too.
The next four years are going to be chaotic and challenging, and it’s important to stay informed. But I’d also suggest not keeping tabs on politics 24/7. There’s gonna be a lot of nonsense coming up, and endless doomscrolling is only gonna make you feel worse.
Distance yourself from social media, even this website if you feel the need to. Maybe try some hobbies, get involved with a cause, focus on your aspirations and your families and friends, make some new friends! See that there is still good in the world and experience it for yourself.
We’re in for some troubling times. But life will go on, and you can still enjoy your life. Don’t let the bozos in Washington make you believe your life is over. For most of us it’s just getting started.
Maybe I’m naive, but I do believe there’s a light at the end of the tunnel eventually. We’ll get through this. You’re strong enough to get through this.
