This Timeline is Intense

Well, well, well. We meet again.

It's been a hot minute since I've felt up to writing. Looking back to the positive responses from previous posts it was a much needed mood booster. I figured it was time to stretch the muscle again and get something out here related to what's going on and how I'm feeling. It's how I imagine a lot of us including you might feel right now.

In complete transparency, the last couple years have continued to be difficult for me both professionally and personally. Returning to homeostasis has been considerably harder than I expected. The path is front of me and I'm taking steps forward but it's a slow process.

Apparently it's been over a year since my first post about this. 😮

So, let's talk about this timeline. Holy sh*t, it's intense.

This is the first time in my life where what's going on in the world has started to affect me significantly. It crossed my mind that maybe it was a new level of maturity but I don't think it's that. It truly feels like a particular period of time that will have extreme and lasting effects on the world. It already has.

It scares me. It stresses me out.

Of course our personal opinions, perspective, and how it affects us individually (or those we care about) will dictate how we feel w/ what's happening around us. But, it's a tough time for everyone. Hopefully your views are at least grounded in some form of morals & ethics. Those sure seem to be disappearing quickly.

And, it really doesn't matter what "side" you're on here. Everyone is feeling this in some way or another. Even if you don't agree with someone or something, it's a good time to show empathy for others. And, compassion for yourself.

There was more in my head when I began to write but I'm going to leave this as is for now. Hope you all are doing ok. Stay positive. We can all get through this together.
