Just as a reminder, because we think this can't be said too often: 2020 was profoundly traumatic. We all owe it to ourselves and to future generations to actually talk about and process that trauma - not to bottle it up.

This is the kind of trauma that's so big it can have effects far into the future, into our own lives and those of our descendants. Bottling feelings up doesn't make them go away. The responsible thing to do is to help each other actually feel them.

If we don't learn to talk about it, we can't discuss how to prevent this horrifying awfulness from ever happening again.
