N.K. Jemisin: "When we say the world has ended, it's usually a lie, because the planet is just fine."

Take a shower, wash off the day. Drink a glass of water. Make the room dark. Lie down and close your eyes. Notice the silence. Notice your heart. Still beating. Still fighting. You made it, after all. You made it, another day. And you can make it one more. You’re doing just fine.

Look for the best in the worst rather than the worst in the best.

The most resilient people are not the ones who never feel pain.
