You are not alone, Kevin! Thousands of very decent folks feel as you do and are looking for things to do to help our country turn this monstrous regime on its ear and out of government! I hold space for you in my prayers, whether you believe or not.

Powerful image. Your work is important.

Please, take a deep breath. Think. Think. As a veterinarian, I made little money, though many owners gifted me food items from their farms (it helped a lot). Now, I have a dog hotel, which made me increase my income.

’m really glad you chose to write this instead of pretending everything is fine. Losing income and watching the country unravel at the same time would rattle anyone. The physical description of the weight on your chest felt very real. You don’t have to be tougher than your circumstances just because you draw them. Your work matters, and so does your nervous system.
