I’m deciding who gets to enter my spaces, my heart, my mind, my living room, because I’m responsible for those places, no one else. I’m responsible to protect my mind, my heart, my family. I can’t change anyone else. I can’t make them kinder or fairer or more measured or less cruel. But I get to decide which voices I listen to and which I don’t, and when to put down my phone and protect my own life.
