i genuinely want to know: how does one box up and set aside the knowledge that innocent people are being kidnapped, deported, murdered--not to mention literally everything else that's happening?

I think for me it’s about focusing on what I can control and influence. I can do very little about the horrors of the world, but I can make my community better, I can make my friends and families lives better, and then it’s a net positive impact I’m leaving on the world.

Is that enough? I dunno, but for my own sanity it needs to be enough for right now.
