Can you believe that January is almost over and it will be February and unfortunately Winter is still here lol. We just had a big snow storm and it is so cold outside. I just want to stay inside and stay warm and cozy but I do have to go into the office.

Lately things have been feeling heavy due to everything that has been going on in the country and in the world. It just seems like as each day goes by, things seem to get worse or things just keep happening. It is beginning to be too much and wondering if things will actually change. Will things ever get better or we’re going to continue down this path of destruction? Like what can we do to help because it is taking a toll on people’s mental health and well being. I just don’t want to be at the point where I don’t want to leave my house or allow my family to leave the house because everywhere feels unsafe. I just can’t believe people actually voted for this and actually support what is currently going on, like why?

I wonder what else we can do. I know we can continue voting at every election that happens, calling our local government and all but what else can we do? I just feel helpless at times because of all this is going on and it is something I didn’t want so how can I help start to turn things around or do my part? It has just been a lot lately and often steer away from the news because it doesn’t seem like anything good is happening. I said one day that they should have a news channel that only broadcast good news and anything that is positive because we could really use that right now. Social media at times doesn’t help either because people are misinformed and spread lies and all and it takes not even a minute to check things on Google. It is just a lot.

And again creators are coming under fire for speaking out but people were just complaining about us not speaking and when we do, we’re told to leave out the political stuff or announce that we are being unfollowed for speaking up and using our platform like you all asked. It just feels like a no win situation. Like you complained about us not using our platforms to speak out about injustices going on and when we do, we’re told to keep it to ourselves? I’m confused. Make this make sense please. There are times that we don’t know what to say because it is really heavy or just don’t have the words. Sometimes we need to process things and our thoughts and all. It is not that people are choosing to be silent on things, we sometimes don’t know how to convey our feelings and thoughts.

Please protect your peace. If you have to log off social media or not watch the news for a while, please do so. Your mental health and well being is so important, please protect it.
