Let your rage fuel you. Ask yourself what love looks like and ask often.

Reset. Recalibrate. Remember.

Remember who you are. Remember what matters to you.

Don’t give up on each other. Imagine who we can be to one another.

You are angry because people are telling you that fire that is destroying everything which you can see with your own eyes doesn’t exist. You are angry because good people are being hurt. You are angry because you have known a better world than this is possible and you are watching any hope that better world being taken from you and everyone you love. Your anger is justified. Your rage is righteous.
