It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Join a local community, any kind, but one where you meet people face to face and talk to them. Do what you can to help out, to improve it. Whatever else happens in the world, you will have that to feel proud of.

April. Eleven years old and the most dignified of my cats. Though that's not a high bar...
