6. Nope, not going to go down that road

Of neurotic handwringing. I’m tired of only thinking of “worst case scenarios”. With everything else going on: COVID, massive job loss, loss of life...I’m going to have to take the road of hope on this one (2020 election). Hope doesn’t mean naivety. You can be hopeful and work your ass off to get Biden elected at the same time. Or you can stay in a state of constant “flight or fight” which drains your energy.

I’m going with hope on this one. I need the positive energy so I can do all I can to help Biden win.
