There's a quote, I think it's from the finale of Angel. (Never seen it. Just the quote, which I am mangling badly here.) He says, if you knew the world was ending, what would you do? She says, she'd keep on doing the work she's doing: helping people. Not many, and maybe not much, but she'd keep at it.
There's also the starfish story. The little kid and the beach covered in starfish that will die out of the water. Can't get enough starfish back in the ocean to make a difference to the starfish collectively. Can make a difference to that starfish, and that one, and that one.
Take care of yourself, okay? It's okay if the only person you can help is you.
