I find that work, while filled with its attendant stresses and frustrations, helps me keep my peace of mind. My brain keeps occupied and I spend less time thinking about myself and my friends and family and all the things that could happen to us.
Still trying to find my place. There are so many non-productive places to spend my time. And it's not even non-productive perhaps, but counter-productive. I am okay with distraction and maybe even need it, but there are also the items that make me feel, act, and perform worse than the person I know I can be.
Seeking to be better.
"Disasters are, most basically, terrible, tragic, grievous, and no matter what positive side effects and possibilities they produce, they are not to be desired. But by the same measure, those side effects should not be ignored because they arise amid devastation. The desires and possibilities awakened are so powerful they shine even from wreckage, carnage, and ashes. What happens here is relevant elsewhere." Rebecca Solnit
