With that said though it was a double edge sword, right? On the plus side when everything shutdown, I still had work. Down side was, I still had work.

Gods I feel ya. Working retail when all of this hit was literal hell. I’m heading back into it soon to pay off loans…and…yikes.

I’m happy I still had work and a paycheck you know? But it came at a risk. 25 positive cases at my job. 4 hospitalized for over a month and 1 death.
Exactly. I had a bunch of super nice older people at my job. And a bunch of younger ones too. We tried our best to stay safe when all of this went down, but we’re cashiers. We can’t control other people’s actions.
So far I’m one of the few that haven’t caught it yet. Most of the staff has had to be swapped out because…well…most of them are gone.

Sounds to me like you have lost, forgotten, or haven’t found your purpose yet. American culture has developed people to think their only reason for living is to get a job, make some money, spend their money on entertainment, and then die.
You have a purpose and you don’t have to go around looking for it. It’s already inside of you. Life is an unfoldment, not accretion, as Charles F Haanel once eloquently wrote.

Well…I mean I know what I want to do. I’ve always known that I’ve wanted to help people. I grew up with people who were beaten down by the country and shoehorned into a lot of things. Really, really good people who had to kick and struggle a lot more than I ever did. Who faced prejudice and discrimination, and…well, I want to help make sure that that doesn’t happen.
So - Architecture’s my trade. I’m studying how to make communities sustainable and how to improve the quality of life without gentrifying them or just steamrolling them for businesses. I want to help create opportunities and make sure that everyone’s got a chance to do what they want to do.
I think part of my exhaustion though is just because this year’s shown me that I’m pushing against a lot more than I thought.

Been around several positive and suspected. We had everything but a leaf blower going per protocol.
I look at my driver and say, don’t let the grass grow.
It’s made things so much more challenging. It’s almost like 9/11 with the restrictions on travel, but way worse. Honestly, if people would just bathe, wash hands, and stay home…but I digress

Depression rears its ugly head to all of us at one point or another.
Keep fighting the good fight
