TAKING OFF THE ARMOR

I am trying to back off watching the news, but it has not been easy. I want to know everything that is going on, and at the same time I am mentally exhausted from seeing massive trauma I can do nothing about. I feel like I am building up kinetic energy and have nowhere to release it.

I’ve noticed a lot of my tension stems from when I see the stories involving the children.
