"You need a rest. You need empty moments in which you tolerate your anxiety and circling thoughts until they slow down and stop circling. You need slow, quiet activities that ground you and remind you to accept yourself in spite of huge obstacles and bad thoughts.
You need to put solutions out of your mind for now, and engage in activities that have nothing to do with your ego. You need habits that strengthen your patience and focus, but also feel real and not arbitrary.
You are doing an amazing job, my love. Keep educating yourself, keep watching the news, keep protesting, keep fighting but also know when to take a break to fight for yourself."

"It is okay if you feel sad right now. If you feel angry. If you feel overwhelmed by all the terrible news. If you feel guilty for not being able to do more. If you want to make a change in the world but your own world is collapsing around you at the same time.
I want you to know that you have the ability to use your voice and help change the world, but to do that, you should also take care of yourself and address the crisis that is going on inside of you.
Trump just had peaceful demonstrators viciously attacked. No, Mr. President. This is not a dictatorship. This is the United States of America. Our citizens have a constitutional right to peacefully protest. It's called the First Amendment.
