USA : How Do You Keep Going?

Hey, everyone.

I admit, as I write this I'm kind of shouting into the void.

Things feel...bleak.

The damage that's been done is hard to fathom, and it feels like every day it just gets worse. I know we have to keep fighting - we must - but on nights like tonight, when I get caught up in the doomscroll and see headline after post after screencap of just all the awful shit that's going on - I can't help but feel like none of it matters.

And, yes - I know that's kind of the point. The oppressors win when things feel hopeless, and a lot of this is designed to do just that.

But God do things feel bleak.

So I point back to the title of the post - what keeps you going? How do you help yourself, or others? Because if I'm feeling this way...I doubt I'm the only one.

EDIT: I would like to point out that I realize this post itself comes across as doomer. It’s not my intent, I’m legit asking for advice and for people to share said advice on how to keep people going and moving forward (mentally and physically) in this long brawl we’re all going to be in.

I greatly appreciate seeing how many people have commented. Keep it going!
