46. Now is a time for self preservation

And by that I mean doing whatever maintains your peace of mind and spirit. That allows you to say and do the things that strengthen and preserve what you care about within your circle of influence.

Not publicly voicing your distress is okay. But do find some kind of release. Any small thing that brings a smile to your face. Take the time to care for yourself and you will naturally spread a kind energy that others will be drawn to.
