I’m still alive. I’m not switching teams. Even if I’m the last one standing here, I will stand here. I'm with humanity. The other option is much more dreadful to me. You mean to tell me I oughta abandon all rationality and, with it, virtue to join in a mass delusion and denial because a few pieces of sh*t could steamroll over others without remorse and now they want to make the world in their image and/or at their service. Nah. I literally would rather die.
That said, I know I’m not alone. I’m not so special as to be the only one who is this "stubborn". Just oughta survive this wave of nonsense and, ideally, find each other to find more strength in numbers. It is nonsense. And nonsense may spread faster (like a smelly fart), but truth ultimately has the last word, as we make sense of it all (clearing the air). Just gotta keep putting it in the forefront so it isn’t buried for too long (and we don't die from intoxication).
If you prefer to keep your sanity, even as everyone else goes insane, and not even in an artistically inclined manner, stick around those who note, breathe, and speak truth. We might not solve all your problems, but we’ll keep you from being absolutely consumed by lies. Not by telling you what to believe, but by sharing the view.
Then again, I repeat, not even I (so-called horror girlie) can withstand being constantly bombarded with awful news about everyone and everything. I’ll have days when I can tune in and days when I’d rather not. And if you find yourself stressed, overwhelmed, and debilitated, I’d suggest you do the same or similarly. Put the news away or aside when you must. Others who are more capable of handling it in greater doses will keep doing their job. And maybe you can help them be able to do their job instead of trying to do it with or for them, too.
I’ve come to terms with whatever it will be. Not to be resigned, but to keep doing my best without sabotaging myself with worries and panic. I have plenty on the way, and knowing that puts me at ease, but the more the merrier. Use your gifts and the advantages and privileges you have, and join in contributions to fostering better conditions and circumstances for goodness to flourish.
