2020

The overwhelming negative impact of all the new social expectations from freaking covid. We have all missed out on some very formative experiences because of all this crap, and I'm tired of it.

However, that (and all the other 2020 stuff) aside, we're all still blessed to have the time that we have. As far as I can tell, the sun rose again today, there is still air to breathe, food to eat, water to drink, and we still have purpose. We should all be more focused on these little things that we take for granted, they are actually very big things and we just rarely think about it because we just assume it will always be there.

ye :D

ikr? can u imagine if all vital functions in the world decided 2 quit working? life would be quite different. so it's important 2 b thankful 2 God 4 His marvelous & brilliantly created world, which He designed very comfortably for us.

Agreed!

Trump's looking very good right now. He is our only chance at saving the life we've become accustomed to. The pathetic 180 these progressives are doing right now is hilarious.

excuse me? trump responded terribly to covid.

My grandfather's death.

ohh, i'm sorry, that rlly sucks.

Ye

🙏s 4 u

Thanks

lol

thx XD

when my aunt got diagnosed with breast cancer. (pretty recently)

oh... that rlly sucks.
do u wanna know something that can help?

what?

have u seen forks over knives or what the health?

no. what? lol

well, both are studies that show a direct correlation between eating animal products and getting cancer. they've shown u can turn off cancer cells completely by eating less than 5% animal products. by the time u're up 2 20%, u'll start showing cancer cells.

interesting. can i get a link to the article? I'm pretty sure that applies to different types of cancer, and different types of meats.

actually they're both documentaries. but they do have sites (ihni whats on them tho :)

https://www.forksoverknives.com/the-film/

https://www.whatthehealthfilm.com/about

i think they're mostly filled w/ recipes but they have these pages that explain a lil bit. u'll learn far more from the documentaries tho. i rlly am not the documentary type person, but i've seen these & changed my diet b/c of them.

oho k thanks.

yw. just wanted 2 do what i could. plus i've known ppl that have studied & cured themselves of cancer b4. so i wanted 2 help if at all possible. XD

im scared now haha

wait why?

I'm joking lol

wait, what?

I do not like my governor

oh yeah, i forgot about Gretchen Whitmer... ye ik all about her b/c i've been rooting 4 B1G football 2 happen & she's been vehemently opposed 2 it (& there are rumors she threatened 2 sue them if they played). She literally said she was glad there was no high school football up there & in the B1G.
so ye i've only known about her 4 a wk XD

Yeah, she's one of the governors who put Covid patients into nursing homes to murder the residents.......she's the only one still doing it

ye i heard about that. (i think from a family member, but i didn't know she was the one who did that). goodness.

It's sick

I think there's some federal investigation or charge or something but don't quote me on that

ye ik what u're saying...
tbh i think she's involved w/ the B1G cancellation but i could b wrong about that too...

so hru anyways?

I'm good.

School officially starts Monday so that's cool ig. It's my 3rd year doing cross-country and I'm actually getting pretty into it this time around so that's good.

How about you?

ooh, my dad wants me 2 get into cross country so i can move around (b/c i gained weight on two trips last yr & have been 30 lbs overweight since).
well gl2u then!
well, i finally went to church on sunday & youth last wednesday, so i was getting out again. but i missed having fun, & they said they'd do stuff this yr b/c of the former lockdown. then there was a game night planned yesterday, so i was looking 4ward 2 going. then on thursday someone in the church (they weren't there on sunday) got the coronavirus, & then they announced there'd b dancing in the event (we all love that), so i rlly wanted 2 go. but on friday my parents decided not 2 let me go b/c my dad's job will fire him if he gets covid. so that was extremely stressful, especially when paired w/ the fact that whenever i try to get to know ppl by having fun, things always have seemed to get in my way 4 the last 10 yrs. it's been rlly annoying, me being an extrovert.
then today i've had just wayy too much stuff to do & i will again tommorow, plus idk how long i'll be in lockdown now. i've essentially got tomorrow (maybe the day after) to finish my science course (i've just gotten on the last module tho)
also, when i went to church, i was having a conversation w/ my friend (who is taking language courses) & made the drastic mistake of telling this to my mom. Now i have another course to take. *slaps myself in the forehead*
plus i'm kinda exhausted b/c 4 most of today i've just been in a bunch of political arguments on here.

"that's not going back past the last 2 days" XD (altered quote from thor ragnarok lol)

tbh i've made foolish choices w/ schooling, & now i can nvr rest anytime soon b/c of it, so that's exhausting. now ik better, but there rlly isn't anything i can do 4 now except keep on doing the right thing & hope things get better nxt yr.

Oof, I'm an introvert so I'm just in constant struggle with that.
But I've been going to church a couple months now actually.

Oh, yeah, speaking with people on the left is....frustrating for, obvious reasons.

ye i'm an extrovert & will miss ppl if i can't get out for more than 3 days. there's a lot of history behind some of that, but it's prolly enough 2 write a book about. but basically, i've lived most of my childhood alone, & when i've tried 2 make friends, something always has to make it difficult; be it school, be it transportation issues (which rlly haven't been a big problem as much in the last 4 yrs), or the virus, or any tool necessary. it's always seemed like some being is over me that clearly doesn't want me 2 get that, & it's very demoralizing.

that's good! has it been good 4 u?

ye so many ppl r just unreasonable & use fallacies constantly & then treat u like an idiot 4 disagreeing. i don't fall 4 that, but it is very depressing 2 c that that's where our nation is now.

Yeah, same, so maybe I'm better off being more introverted.

Very good!

Agreed

ye i live around introverts who don't understand being an extrovert so it would b better 4 me if i wasn't one, but i am. & i don't want 2 not b.
nice!
ye XD i'm honestly glad my parents have let me know about views opposing christianity since when i was young, or idk how i'd handle all the stuff on here.

I'm from Michigan btw

lol i was born in Ohio XD

*glares*

XD
r u in2 footbal btw?

Not a bit. I've never been into watching any sport (plus my family doesn't have cable)

actually neither do we. we just got a service that allows us 2 c all tv period. we joke that it can't be legal XD
btw i asked b/c u said "glares" lol

oh yeah XD

I dunno, I'm just kinda surrounded by a lot of people who are into sports so I kinda just picked up on that lol

Nothing wrong with Ohio though

oh yeah ppl r ferocious about that stuff in those states. my dad said someone opened a "Go Wolverines" shop near where we lived once, & they boycotted the store & the guy went out of business b/c he couldn't make any money. they had to make a law against sports merchandise on stores there lol

lol

I gotta sleep now. Running computer for church tomorrow
seeya

ye but i was never in2 sports either until the yr i spent a yr basically in quarantine (prolly worse than this yr). that yr had a lot of problems & i was even suicidal then at some point. i've recovered from that mindset since then (but not some other problems) & have no intention of ever going back to it, which is why i have no problem saying anything about it. XD

Oh....well I'm glad you're out of that now!

ye me too. i was so young then. it would've been so sad if i'd done that. plus afaik, at least 3/5 of the ppl in my intermediate family have contemplated that b4. but God made us all 4 a reason.

That's a fact. We'll see what He has for me, but it helps keep me going

ye me too lol cya!

gl w/ finding out! XD cya!
