It’s hard to talk about anything other than the
obvious, because that is all anyone is talking about, but I’ll do my best.
Mathew is continuing to barrel on through his
childhood, unaffected by any of the ‘scary stuff’ that is going on around the
world. I might follow his lead. Maybe ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ is the best policy.
If we all ignore everything that is happening everywhere else, and just make
sure we’re keeping those close to us well, then there’s less to fret about and
we might make it through the next few months with our sanity intact. Personally
speaking, if I keep seeing all the reports from around the world I’m going to
concentrate on the negatives and collapse into a pit of doom and despair.
Global community is lovely, but I can’t take on the pain of 7 billion people
around the world and worry about the health of every one of them. Every
headline is horrible, every photo from a locked-down city looks apocalyptic,
every forecast makes you feel fecked.
Someone, somewhere, please set up a website that is
full of positive outlooks and interviews that give us hope! Don’t go for the
clicks or give voices to sensationalising ‘experts’ who want to make a name for
themselves, give us graphs that look good, and chats with people who have
already recovered from this thing. There are LOADS of them out there. Tens and
tens of thousands of them. Let’s hear from them so we can all stop seeing it as
a guaranteed death sentence.
I fell into the trap on the first day. I hate
myself….
