#1 I had to get really critical about myself and my experience. I was having a good time despite the apparent apocalypse, and I was thriving. I was having friends, dates, Netflix, and cocktails.

#2 I grew up in a family that was affected by the Trail of Tears, and I was also affected by the violence that surrounded me. I channeled my anger and frustration into activism and community service.

#3 I had to learn how to start grieving and mourning in a way that I had never learned before. I had to learn how to take care of myself, instead of going off and whooping people's ass or cussing people out.

#4 We must understand that at some point we must develop an attitude of needing to love everything, especially what is unlovable. Everything has a place, and if it's outside of our experience, it becomes dangerous for us.
