Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

My father always told me:

"If you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company.

Sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves."

And only recently have I realised that this principle works everywhere.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

WE TOLD YOU SO: Yale Researchers Find COVID Spike Protein in Blood 709 Days After Vaccination, Positing Millions of Long COVID Patients May Actually Be Vaccine Injured

Welcome to the new normal I guess.

For the record, here's my own experience.

As an industrial technician I was deemed an essential worker during lock-downs, so I kept working, working in close proximity to vaccine zealots mostly.

I'd rather die than take the shot, but somehow I got cornered into having one of them PCR tests with the nose swab.

The test returned negative, so I could keep on working.

But I also developed a runny nose on the side I had been swabbed. That lasted for a few months (!).

During this period I got a persistent ringing in my ear, on the same side as the swab and runny nose. That developed into syndrome of Menière.

Which caused me to lose my job.

It was a hectic time for my family as well, as we had been kicked out of our house at the beginning of the lock-downs.

My wife and I both worked full-time and we had to find a new dwelling in impossibly demanding circumstances.

We moved twice in a year, at which point I ended up without a job, depressed and in full burn-out.

Not much has changed since. I kinda manage, but that's about it.

It is an eery lonely feeling to live day in day out with most of the symptoms of PVS, long COVID without having been vaccinated.

I have had one blood test done where I tested negative on COVID anti bodies.

I've tried everything the doctors threw at me to get rid of the ringing to no avail.

I turn 60 this year, so I guess I'll have to learn to accept that that's what getting old is like.
