It goes over your nose like the condom goes over the penis...

  

 

    There’s a brief moment in the morning when you open your eyes and everything is calm, there’s no pandemic, people haven’t died, jobs haven’t been lost, people aren’t struggling financially, tragedy, racism and the hurt are gone and you feel absolutely at peace. You know that feeling I’m talking about, don't you? And then your feet hit the ground and it all comes flooding back! 

 

    The world has always been a vast and scary place but last year was hard and trying and this year I think is going to prove to be the same. Everyone is going through hard times and things are as unpredictable and worrisome as ever. This means that we should be banding together to try and combat all of the shit we’re being handed. Instead we’re angry, pissy, mean and hateful for absolutely no fucking reason at all. I get it, we’ve all got shit to be angry about but taking it out on others isn’t going to solve a goddamn thing. 

 

    I look around and see how much hate there is and I’m disgusted. People can’t see me smiling at them in public anymore because of my mask; it doesn’t stop me from smiling. 

     

    I was at the grocery store the other day and this woman in front of me bitched out the cashier because she simply asked her to put her mask over her nose while she was in the store. This woman literally FLIPPED her lid. I can honestly see how there are so many unplanned pregnancies by the way these people wear their masks. It goes over the nose... just like the condom goes over the penis. It isn’t hard and yet, here we are a year and some change into it and people still just can’t seem to grasp the concept. 

 

    I get it, masks suck! If you’re like me, you wear glasses and those fuckers fog up with every single breath I take and prevents me from being able to see. But if wearing a mask is going to prevent someone else from getting my germs and vice-versa, I’m gonna wear the goddamn mask. It’s not like I’m spending 4 hours walking around the store, I get my shit and go. YOU should too! 

 

    This is old shit but I feel like so many are stuck here.

 

    I guess the point of today’s post is show some respect, always be kind and don’t be a fucking asshole. We’re all fighting battles, we all have problems and we’re all sick of saying, “we’re hoping for a better year.” Everyone wants a better year but being a prick about it isn’t going to change the world; we’re just gonna keep getting angrier. Kindness, love, patience and a little optimism goes a long way. 

 

    When your feet hit the ground in the morning, breathe a deep sigh of relief that you woke up, thank whoever your God is and just vow that no matter who pisses you off, you’re going to smile through it! There is no limit to how happy you can make a person by one single act of kindness. It doesn’t have to cost you a thing! 

 

“Your hair looks great today!”

“New outfit? It looks great!”

“I hope you have a really great day!” 

 

    BOOM, freebies all around and those people smiled because just one person said something kind.

 

    Now that I am reading back, this seems like a rant. I guess maybe it is! I just wanted to get my very tiny opinion out there that the way you treat people, MATTERS! The things you say, MATTER! How you feel about yourself, MATTERS. It all matters, we just sometimes forget that everything we say and do has an effect on another humans life in one way or another and it’s a huge responsibility, but one that needs to be taken seriously.

 

    Happy Thursday, friends! Make sure you do something positive today! 

 

XOXO
