Unfortunately its hard to give comfort from my perspective as I getcha and we see the stuff and we know its from stuff we saw coming but the ones with money and power call the shots. I think Ive felt similarly with like bombed out complexes with ukraine. I mean like even if they were all alive the thought of all those homes gone. We have a building across the street that had a fire like a half decade ago. It mostly rebuilt but still surrounded by construction fence. I don't think anyone living there before will be living there when its finally occupable again. Im sorry I don't mean to add to the stuff I more want to relate that you are not alone. Other people see it and are sad, depressed, anxious, etc. it sucks and yeah I hate it.

Thanks for getting it. I need to spend more time outdoors because it's so distressing and me being miserable doesn't help anyone.

yeah the things that bring me the greates comfort is pets, the outdoors, and being immersed in water.

You're speaking my language! I'm cuddling with my cat right now and planning a camping trip with a swimming hole for the weekend. Life ain't so bad after all
