You all are living up to your reputation as kind badasses, or maybe badass, kind people, I don’t know. When your energy wanes, realize that ICE’s is waning faster. You are not perfect. You do not need to be perfect. You are, day by day, better than you were before. You are loved and you are not alone. Your slightly fatter neighbors to the east have your back.
