The recent government riot has been on rotation since its occurrence earlier this week. Following a unique year as 2020, the first introduction of 2021 seems to recommence the melting pot of negative emotions experienced this past year.

This was an event utterly disappointing; however, this is not our identify as a country or us as individuals.

The year will be what you choose to make it, it is not identified by angry rioters. We will have moments of disappointment, joy, and excitement. We'll be weary and overwhelmed, but know the year isn't identified by an event, the year is the event.

No matter what bad stuff life throws your way, as long as you cope with it constructively, nothing can get you down.

Self-care was something I once categorized as unnecessary and weak. Stress was a merit of hard work, the mark of challenge and character.

Perhaps, the lack of regard toward one's own self-care has aversive effects which aren't noble. Is there a balance between being too aware of self-care and not enough? Are we better for it or is it simply all hype?

A loving relationship can be an oasis in uncertain times, but nurturing it requires attention, honesty, openness, vulnerability, and gratitude.
