Brief reflection on my last post

I spent a lot of time last night reflecting on my last post and came to some realizations.  I don't necessarily want to live in a bubble of my own making, but I would like to take the ideals that I cling to and incorporate them into my every day life.  That's doable, I just have to do it.  Also, it was a long week and I was pretty emotionally drained during the last post.  To be honest, I'm pretty tired of being scared of life.  I don't mean living life, but of the life going on around me.  The primaries were this week and any kind of election leaves me feeling scared and hopeless these days.  Yes, I know it's my privilege to vote, it's my right, blah blah.  I get that and yes, I'm grateful for it, but our political climate scares the crap out of me and I often think what does it matter.  It all comes down to money anyway.  And now we have this coronavirus thing going on.  Starting to stock up on food and supplies just in case mass transit is interrupted.  I hate that mentality and that also scares me.  But, it is what it is.

There's always something and I just want to have one day when something doesn't worry me.  I don't think that's too much to ask, is it?  Probably.  Oh well.  I realize that these feelings of fear are probably small potatoes compared to what other people are going through, so I will find a way to deal with it.

That is all.
