  • What being vaccinated means

    In this day & age being vaccinated means alot. Yesterday I got my first shot & I am ecstatic that I am partially vaccinated. It means less paranoia about being around others. Such as riding the bus or being in a crowd.

    I would never have thought that the vaccine would be finished so quickly & to be soo good at protecting you from COVID. It’s a miracle we needed. A cough is no longer a cough in public or a runny nose.

    COVID has changed how we perceive others & ourselves. It’s changed our planet for good & for bad. The germaphobes have become more so & us regular folks just takes each day as it comes.

    Maybe soon we can return to some kind of normal, whatever that means in this day & age. Being able to hug each other without condemnation or looks. But just being human.

    The future finally looks brighter than it has in months. Till next time, remember that Kindness is not a Weakness!

  • It’s you Not me

    I made a mistake recently & divulged that I have a mild mental illness & sometimes think out loud. Something everyone does, at one point another. It’s not harmful & it’s simply thinking aloud.

    Hence, I have been treated like a leper since telling them. But I have been living with stigma for a long time & know when some’s shallow & misunderstood perception is not me. It’s You.

    Anyway I feel sorry her & her judgement of me in the year 2021. It’s not the 18th century, smell the actions you’re responsible for & grow up.

    Onto other things, it’s Summer solstice today & the longest day of year. So happy solstice!! Party on fab people.

  • Reflection

    The last few weeks have made me reflect on the important things in my life. Such as my friends & my relatives & how lucky I am to have them. Even my small family with the four legged creature has become more important. I want to radiate the kind of kindness my Farmor did.

    She was kind no matter what, but if you did something wrong she’d call you out on it right away. She’d say her peace & be done with it. When she forgave you her whole being radiated love.

    That’s what I want to do, as this t-shirt I ordered recently that says Kindness is not a Weakness. It’s important to me to carry on her legacy by being kind. Soo few people are these days that’s it’s soo important. Being kind means you don’t spit on people or say rude things about them when they are within hearing distance.

    It means being more open to life & to change without feeling guilty for being it. Change happens but that doesn’t mean it’s bad, it could be good too. No, my Farmor taught me many things among them to be True to myself & to others. I practice it everyday, by being kind to strangers & not expecting anything in return.

    Till next time. Be grateful, be open & most of all kind.
