I have to admit I was happy and felt alive.
I will feel that again. This I know.And now?
1. Hold fast to whatever is waiting for you on the other side. It doesn't matter it feels foolish, or whether there is certainty of it happening exactly as you plan in the end. Hope can deliver us from the darkest of days.
2. Be goofy. Crack jokes. Be odd. Let your mind wander when it needs to. You need to let that pent up energy out often. Channel it into whatever creative nonsense you can think of.
3. Food is fuel. Eat what you need, but ration the good stuff. You'll need the good rewarding pick-me-ups spaced out in time.
4. Make a time-keeping record / log. Put all your thoughts, poems, songs, rants, etc in it. Bonus if you can collaborate on it with others.
5. Share your thoughts with others and commiserate often. We are all in the suck, and it doesn't matter how much worse anyone has it. Your feelings are valid, and need acknowledgement.
6. Write letters to loved ones, and record videos for them to watch (and facetime now that that tech is available). I always felt special when someone went to the trouble of making something like that for me, and letting me know they care. And I felt good making them too.
7. Have a project. Something long term that you have to work on gradually. Education, making, hobby, art, etc.
8. Make and share playlists for your various moods, and embrace the moods you feel fully. Get all the joy, rage, pain, and everything out. Scream if you need to. Don't worry about looking crazy, because the World is crazy, and we are a reflection of it.
9. Get to know people that you would never talk to in your normal routine. They will change your life.
10. Reward your accomplishments. Because you are a survivor, thrill hunter, a champion, and a badass.
11. Be a dick as little as possible, and share whatever you can.
Would you have what it takes
To stand up and fight
To fall on the hand grenade
Without thinking or fright
For another living being
To put yourself on ice
To lay down your life
The ultimate sacrifice
This is something i think about
Could i do it myself
As i sit here and stare
At grandpa's flag on the shelf
It is so different now
with the gross feminization
Of the entire male race
Of this once great nation
How can it be wrong
To want to be a man
To hold open doors
To fight for our land
To stand my ground
For what i think is right
To protect my family
From the evils of the night
But I must be wrong
If I don't think like you
Freedom of speech and opinion
Just no longer true
We all hide in our holes
Thinking only we can be right
And what ends up happening
we riot, we fight
I am not the only one guilty
you also are to blame
We spout off opinions
Acting the same
This once tight knit country
Now two different places
With a hard line in the sand
Spitting in faces
You see we all think different
But that's how it should be
We are not meant to be robots
In the land of the free
I'm not always right
And your not always wrong
If more people could think this way
We might just get along
But make no mistake
If we can't find that place
This nation will die
slowly, in disgrace
You won't have yours
And I won't have mine
Our land of the free
Lost for all time
Would you have what it takes
To listen to me
To try to understand
My meaning of free
To budge in the places
you hold dear in your heart
To let me be me
New ground it could chart
This is something i think about
Could i do it myself
As i sit here and stare
At grandpa's flag on the shelf

I dont know you well, but I hate that you feel this way.I've noticed I was once someone who ppl liked and cared about on here but after being here for almost 3 years it definitely fades and you just become old news to most people. Kinda sad but I guess it's the people, not the friendships etc. I love my small circle though because then you know who's truly there for you.
I dont know you well, but I hate that you feel this way.
If it make you feel any better. I dont really talk to anyone on here lololIt's okay don't feel bad. It's life. Rather have a couple of loyal friends than a bunch of fake people.
Lol it's okay I have some good close friends and my boyfriend and family.If it make you feel any better. I dont really talk to anyone on here lolol
If you are single, consider ordering MRE’s from online stores that deliver to your door. I’m assuming they are packed with protein because they were made for the military. I’ve just ordered a few online to try. I think it’s important to do all we can to ensure that parents with children, the elderly and all those with health conditions have first access to the fresh foods while the truckers are working their asses off to get products to the supermarkets. Just my thoughts for whatever they’re worth.
I have been social distancing before it was cool.
