Dealing With Life On My Own
This is OUR WORLD, and WE decide what happens to it.
You would think that I have all of the time in the world to write now, wouldn’t you?
Well… yeah, you are right.
BUT, if I am going, to be honest with you all I have found myself with at a loss of what exactly to say. This is a crazy time in the world and if I am going to be completely honest, I do not want to do anything that is going to add to that.
Yes, I know I am not some huge influencer or blogger and that the amount of people who actually read my work is probably really really small… HOWEVER, I think I am seeing something that people are missing about this whole entire thing.
We all, EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US, plays a role in this.
And that is where the issue is… and that is exactly why I took the time I needed to get my thoughts in order before I shared them.
This virus is showing us that we ALL have an impact. This virus is showing us that we ALL make a difference in this world. This virus is showing us that this is OUR WORLD, and WE decide what happens to it.
And sadly, some of us haven’t caught on to that…
So many individuals think that they, themselves, don’t have the power to make the difference. That they, personally, cannot make or break this… That it really doesn’t matter what they do because they are insignificant in the scheme of it all.
AND THEY COULDN’T BE MORE WRONG.
Trust me, I get it. It seems bizarre that one individual not washing their hands or hanging out with your best friend could lead to all of this. BUT, that is what is happening.
It is hard to wrap your head around when we have gone through life with the mentality that we are just one person and it is difficult to see from the perspective that you as an individual can have such a dire and lasting effect on so many others.
So instead of continuing to think that you, personally, don’t matter… have some confidence. Understand that you DO have an impact in this world, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW and that YOU need to do what you can to make a difference.
Stay home. Wash your hands. Social-distance.
