Trudeau Makes Everything Better

"There are times when the weight of everything settles on your chest like a murderous vise. You can take huge, swooping lungfuls of air but there is no cracking those invisible bands of stress. It just hangs there, threatening to splinter you like a ship in a sea of shifting ice. There is no preparing for it and no dodging it. Eventually the collective force of the squalor, the heat, the violence, the sense of loss and the separation from loved ones will find you, and test you. I managed to make it nearly six months, but last week the numbing sense of displacement and bitterness settled on me with the glacial force of artic ice. There is no military secret to overcoming the inner struggles that come with living in this broken land. All that you can do is square your shoulders and keep moving forward, even when your actions seem bereft of purpose. Or maybe I should say especially when your actions seemed bereft of purpose."
