Don’t Forget To Take A Break

(aka It’ll be there tomorrow)

Don’t forget to take a break.

We have not evolved enough to take on all this grief at once. So. Take a break.

You have to.

The news will be there. The tweets will be tweeted. The other sides' gaslighting will be still happening.

Take a break.

Have a good meal. Call your mother if she’s still with you and you have this kind of relationship. Or call your dad and let him talk your head off about lawnmowers.

Take a break.
You gotta.

Go outside. Touch grass. Stare at the water. Make some ranch water. Camp outside — even if it’s your backyard.

Take a break.
Right now.

Read a book. Re-learn that hobby. Turn off the tv and have a dance party. Even if it’s a solo dance party.

Take a break.
Please.
Before you break.

We need you well. Together. Ready for the fight. But first…take a mother fucking break.

It’ll all be here when you are rested.
