No action, no story
It can be hard when you’re in the midst of things. It can truly feel like the world has come down on you all at once. But these things will settle as they always do. And by then, well, you’ll have a story to fall back on. You’ll have the benefit of hindsight to rely upon.
At least now you have a story. At least now you have one of the most powerful tools known to man to make things better for the next guy.
