Not so much advice as a selfish request: please try to stay with us. I mean that both figuratively (i.e. mentally checking out and becoming hollow) and literally (i.e. existing in this world). It's a selfish request because though I'm not even American, I am one of the countless people who are scared shitless today. I don't know how we will make it through this, but I know I can't do this on my own.

If you're here, scared with me, then I am not alone, and neither are you. It's a bit trite, but it helps me somewhat.

It’s a bit trite

I don't believe this is trite at all. This is how we do it. We do it together.
