mh + maybe? Just hit something huge 

I was feeling sad, and in sadness there's nothing to DO other than feel that way. For the past few months I've felt that I'm legitimately grieving all sorts of things, like five stages of grief, but if so what's acceptance look like? And I'd been thinking it was some Buddha like gentle peace with loss, but it isn't; it's SADNESS!

You can't feel sad if you're trying to anticipate the next attack, so frustrated you want to smash security cameras and Tesla windows, trying to make yourself shower and get outside, or thinking maybe just maybe Dems will manage to do the right thing and create safety, or whatever. Acceptance is SADNESS.
