    As someone that updates the News thread regularly, always take breaks. Take a walk and, if possible, socialize with people that you hold dear.

    Also, never forget that this pain, this sadness, and anger is not yours to keep. It is fuel to be used for our agitation. It is fuel to push us to organize and to make others join us to form a movement such as the solidarity rallies.

    Our power is in the masses. When enough people of the masses feel and desire a better world, that’s when the movement turns into action capable of changing reality.

      Thanks. I agree with everything you said, though sometimes it’s hard to think of it that way, emotionally. I’ve been doing a daily thing for more than two years now where I write down what I’m feeling here and there, throughout the day, but it seems I still have trouble with letting stuff bottle up. I am probably not letting myself feel things enough in the moment, so that I can process them then. Though part of it, I know, is just a matter of channeling it into appropriate action, rather than treating it like something to process and let pass (the latter could end up more like pacifism if taken to the extreme).
