I've noticed in my life that when I've felt hopeless and like I couldn't go on, the people who've said "Oh get over yourself and toughen up!" have actually done more for me than those who however well intentioned probably let me stay on the phone too long describing my despair.

Different circumstances call for different attitudes, obviously. But this is a moment in our culture when it feels to me like we need to coddle our pain a bit less at times. With our democracy as well as our planet pretty literally on fire, we've got to summon our strength now.

My last response didn't get at the core of this message so I'm going to try again. The point she's making about this moment in history could not be more true. Think about what's happening in 🇺🇦. No time for tears there. Just for the fight. For the TRUTH.
