Bird Box

Like most of us, I slid into this year with the mindset that 2020 was going to be the year of perfect vision. I had no idea that when I did open my eyes, the world would literally be the live action version of the movie Bird Box. Blindfold me! Okaaaay?! I feel like no one is addressing the fact that... Whew. things are overwhelming! The sun is hot. Water is wet. People are mad and rightfully so. People are sick because Corona. Tensions are high and Kanye is Kanye-ing. The majority of my friends are hanging on by a very thin thread emotionally and our conversations generally end with a less-than-enthusiastic "But God." Truth is, people are tired of just about everything and everything keeps finding more "everything" for people to be tired of. It's like, if you blink you'll miss something important but if you don't blink you almost wish you did because the weight of the world is HEAVY. In the midst of it all good things are still happening. Some things are changing for the better but also, 6 months of "straight no chaser" can leave you stressed, bruh. I kinda need a chaser. Where is the pineapple juice? No.. I need some milk! I was telling a friend that I felt like a leaf in the wind today. Personally, all is well but because so much is happening, I do feel like i'm being lifted and tossed through rapid winds, daily. I haven't been home in two years and the fact that I really can't right now is triggering. It would be nice to see my dad, eat fufu, and watch the news together. Fortunately and Unfortunately home is Atlanta and no one in Atlanta is wearing a mask...SIDE NOTE..What's wrong with yall??? Covid is Covid so spare me on the "it's worse in LA" narrative. PUT. THE. MASK. ON!!! I have also noticed that many people have become thumb thugs. I mean.. The moment that someone has an opinion that doesn't match theirs, folks start to @ and argue. Sometimes I just want the Lord to bring back sip and paint because @ and argue seems counterproductive at best. I am NEVER showing up to an @ and argue party. Like.. what do you even wear to such a dreadful affair? I say all this to say, none of us could have imagined that this year would have so many layers. Imagine what you were doing on New Years Eve. For me, I was watching Anderson Paak kill it on stage and thinking wow this year is going to be fun. Little did I know, my idea of fun would consist of me refreshing the page until my email says "your order has been shipped." In every sense of the word times are tough. I think I speak for most people when I say we need JUSTICE and A protege of Doctor Sebi to step up a figure this virus out.
