If you're having trouble focusing, you're not alone
If you're feeling alone, you're not alone
If you're not sure where, how, or whether to engage, you're not alone
If you're losing your shit over minor things, you're not alone
If you've eaten cereal for dinner anytime in the last month, you're not alone
If you're not sleeping through the night, you're not alone
If you're trying to comprehend the unfathomable, you're not alone
If you're glued to social media or the news even though it doesn't make you feel any better, you're not alone
If you’re avoiding the news, you're not alone
If you're looking for answers, you're not alone
If you're swimming in questions, you're not alone
If you're frightened, you're not alone
If you're angry, you're not alone
If you're grief-stricken, you're not alone
If you're turning to the people, places, and practices that help you recenter yourself, you're not alone
If you're unable to reach out, you're not alone
If you’re dismayed at the memes and sound bytes, you’re not alone
If you're searching your values, your ethical code, your morality, you're not alone
If you're feeling helpless, you're not alone
If you're struggling to communicate with colleagues or with family members or with friends, you're not alone
If you're doing your best and dropping balls anyway, you're not alone
If you're burrowing into what's familiar and comforting, you're not alone
If you're unable to find a place to land, you're not alone
If you're taking a moment to stop, stop everything, pause, slow down, place a hand over your own beating heart, and breathe, you're not alone

Burrowing into what’s comforting— spoke hugely to me. (And yesterday wrote to my senators, for all the good that will do. That’s part of the not knowing what to do…) xoxo
