So here we go again, me starting off my latest post complaining about how I never post enough and yada yada. I find myself overthinking about what I want to write than actually writing. The struggle is not made up my friends! You would have thought that with this pandemic, I would be spending more time talking about the randomness on this blog. But nope, that hasn’t been the case and it is totally ok. Truth is, I’ve gotten slightly better at not beating myself up about the things I do or don’t do. It’s good to acknowledge them and be self aware, but the whole dwelling part is no bueno.

We’ve officially been on lock down for over 7 months and at the beginning I was somewhat hopeful (as I’m sure most of you were as well) that it would end in a month or two and that things would go back to normal. Um, yeah…looks like that hasn’t been the case. I’ve been ok for the most part since I am beyond blessed to have a secure job and I manage to find ways to keep myself entertained whether it’s video games, binge watching stuff, taking pics, working out or cooking new dishes. It’s been kinda chill, but like most people, I have those off days where I feel like it shouldn’t be this way and one can only take so much of this nonsense for so long. So it’s been a constant challenge of keeping my mind occupied while also continuously trying to reassure myself that this will pass. I could easily go off the deep end and lose hope, but it’s pointless and wouldn’t get me anywhere positive.

So here I am trying to get through this like everyone else. There are days that completely suck, but I keep reminding myself that it’s only one day and that tomorrow could be potentially better. And that has made a world of difference. When you break things down in to smaller pieces, they get easier to deal with. That’s why I even though I mentioned the 7 months timeframe, I try to deal with the day ahead of me and not dwell on how long it has been or how much longer it will continue for. You know how they say, life isn’t about what happens to you, it’s what you do about it? Well, this is one of those things that is happening to all of us and we just have to do our best to stay sane and hopeful. If you’re reading this and find yourself having an off day or days, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, I’m here and I got you covered like Geico!
