Deep breaths…
I’m soon going to have a lot to say about what comes next. The battle never ends, and this is going to be a dark chapter, but I’m going to keep organizing and fighting. Someone has to. And I hope you’re with me. But at this moment I want to say something to you: take a moment for yourself.
Take a deep breath. Drink some water. Go outside for a moment today or tomorrow if you can. Taste fresh air. None of this is going to make things okay. It may not make you feel better at all. But what I’m asking you to do is to take care of yourself.
If you’re reading this, it means you’re one of the “good guys” and you’ve been fighting hard for what’s right. You deserve better than this outcome. You’re shook. I’m shook. I’ve spent the day in a disoriented daze. But the one thing I’m not going to do is take this out on myself. I’m trying to be good to myself today. And as your longtime friend in this battle, I’m urging you to be good to yourself as well. Rest up. We’ll need you at your fighting weight later.
