I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the rapid, devastating changes happening under this administration—the dismantling of rights, the gutting of social services, the deliberate destabilization of democracy.
Hi Janine. Your post really resonates with me. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by everything happening, and I think many of us struggle with wanting to do more but not knowing exactly where to start. The small, quiet, consistent actions—like cultivating community, listening, having conversations, and sharing our stories—can be just as impactful. It's okay not to have all the answers, but your reflection and willingness to engage provide an invaluable perspective. Thank you for sharing it.
Hi Alana - I really appreciate you taking the time to read and reflect with me! We’re all figuring it out as we go, and I’m grateful to be exploring a way forward together. ❤️
The list of doable-now things is so inspiring! I've also been keenly aware of my own lack of strategy. Both because I don't have an in depth understanding of any civic issue (not even one!) and I feel like I'm not a lawyer or a congresswoman or a famous person, so even if I devoted 30 days to reading up on everything I could on the judicial system or international relations or social contracts, how would that benefit anyone. Now I can use the Venn Diagram to identify what to do. I think the center of mine would be making a difference in the hyper local landscape in places that I already frequent, like my own neighborhood (:
Thank you for being here and for sharing! The small, everyday actions in the spaces we work and live in matter—they add up to real, meaningful change. Love that you’re using the venn diagram to identify your personal strategy for action. Your neighborhood is lucky to have you. 😊
