We all need to step away for a bit when we get overwhelmed. We have to not only accept but celebrate our humanity. Then when we come back we're able to focus more on what unites rather than divides us, and see that so many people are working selflessly for a better future. The loudest voices aren't the most representative ones.

Self-care and self-compassion are essential! But they're things most of us struggle with. Not enough people get told that we matter, and in fact, we too often get the exact opposite message. Thank you, MuseumGhost (SO many cool screennames on here!) And I will say to everybody here on PC: you all matter and you all belong.
