In times when you feel like anxiety is suffocating and fear is taking over, don’t forget that there’s only so much control one has over their experiences. It’s easy to carry the weight on your shoulder of security and perfection, but it’s also impossible. We can not control it all.

Do what you can to help society as a whole, but also remember to take deep breaths, and be your own voice of reason.
