There is a certain contingent of harpies out there that seems to insist we must remain holed up in our domiciles until it is "safe," that any step outside sheltered walls is a risk. I post this to dispel that myth.
It is more important to stay away from other people than it is to stay in one place for months on end, which will do more harm than good.
All I’m encouraging is a bit of balance. I’m not sure who these ‘harpies’ are (that’s an unpleasant TOS flashback), but if I were you, I’d stop listening to any of them. They’re fools. And none of them hang around here.
Get out as much as you can. Go to a park if you don’t have a yard. Go to a store whenever you feel like it. Talk with neighbors and friends. But whatever you do, try to stay positive for the sake of your mental health.
I’ve seen a lot of negativity, hostility and mockery around here lately, and it’s not good for anyone.
This will be over soon, perhaps with a slightly new normal, but it WILL be over.
What we need to do is take care of ourselves until then.
