Well it happened. It actually fucking happened. What started as a joke a few years ago resulted in one of the worst possible outcomes. This doesn\u2019t even feel like reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re all feeling different things, anger, sadness, fear, uncertainty. But whatever you\u2019re feeling, don\u2019t forget to practice self-care. In times like now, the least we can do is maintain our well being.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main thing is to not bury any of your feelings and thoughts. Burying and pushing them away will only cause them to bubble back up in the future. Don\u2019t be afraid to express yourself in whatever way you feel comfortable. To some, that\u2019s sharing their thoughts on Facebook. To others, that\u2019s writing in their private journal. The list doesn\u2019t end there. Working out, making art, playing video games, watching cat videos, cooking, there is no wrong thing to do. Just do anything that makes you feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n

And please don\u2019t forget to take care of your physical well-being. Eat food, drink water, get some fresh air. You\u2019d be surprised at how much better you\u2019ll feel after getting some air.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re all going to be coping with this in our own ways. One of the best things we can do for one another is respect each other’s coping strategies. Everyone deals with issues in their own way and we cannot create a toxic environment of harshness and criticism like this shit show has been for the last few years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now if you\u2019ll excuse me, I\u2019m going to go kill space terrorists in Call of Duty until I feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n
