Either all is lost, or there's hope.
If you believe all is lost, then the only correct response is to live each remaining day like it could be your last.
If you believe there's hope, then be thinking of what you can do to make a difference.
Either way, feeling down doesn't help you or anyone else. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in there, fren.
I'm in Texas, too. Think how lucky we are not to be in California!
