Listen, I know some of yall are thinking some really bad things are gonna happen, but I want yall to think optimistically for once:

First, we've been through this before, back in 2016, and we all thought it was the end of the world, right? But did that happen? Nope, not at all. If we could get through 2016, we could get through this.

Second, once we get pass these next four years, he won't be able to run for president ever again. A person is only able to be president twice, so once we reach that 2028 mark, we won't see or hear about this guy in the polls ever again.

Third, and most important, if you find yourself doomscrolling or constantly seeing and hearing about the worst, go do something besides looking at social media; turn off the news and go read something, draw, go take a walk, etc. If you need to take drastic measures and leave a social media site for a while, do that. I just made a post on twitter saying that I'm not gonna post for a while and it felt like a weight being pulled off my back; it's great.

But don't forget the main thing to do, you need to survive and make yourself happy. You're gonna see some scary things out there, but you need to live, because who knows what you'll miss out in the future, maybe one of your favorite shows from your childhood gets a revival, maybe the game of your dreams will get revealed, maybe you'll find somebody who is exactly your type and fall in love. You have to live, live to create, live to inspire, live to love someone, live to just spite someone,

Live for us.
