Optimism?

 Found some optimism!

(they're pot gummies, just to be clear.  it's a joke, and also not.)

don't judge.  in fact, have some.
we are going to need every coping mechanism we can get.

there is good in this world, and it is worth fighting for.
we won't believe that every day.
but it will always be true.

some days, our job will be simply to survive.
some days our job will be to find joy (no time for guilt about it, either.  we need joy).
some days our job will be something we do not know.

grieve.  we have lost something important.
despair, though?  not over them.  they're not worthy.

we stay, and we fight.

if they build a death star, we build a rebel alliance and we blow that shit up.

if they threaten our lives, we threaten theirs.  (i know.  i don't like it either.  get used to not liking things.)

we cannot rid the world of monsters by becoming monsters. we don't pick fights, but we will defend ourselves and each other.

we react to fascists and cultists not with fear, but with mockery.  they are ridiculous, and it's time to ridicule.  hard.  they are stupid, they are cruel, they are wrong, and we will expose them.

pay attention.  even when it hurts.
we are all about to learn a lot.
