Depression and anxiety are perfectly normal responses to what is happening in our country. I don't get the people who AREN'T upset. What I've been doing is trying to find comfort in the little things, day to day. I've been trying to be extra nice to everyone because that makes ME feel better too. Paying things forward, that sort of thing. Everyone is looking for kindness.

Unless they're assholes then all bets are off. (Just kidding.)
