There are times when me or anyone else feels like they are down. Whether due to work, COVID19, or any other situations , there are ways we can cope and heal from it. A lot of people think that medicine heals your body, mind, and spirit but to a point it doesn't. The way we look at things through our eyes see one thing but our body and mind and heart say otherwise. As humans, its ok to feel down but not all the time. Too much negative energy and negative thoughts can impact our spirit and heart. When we think too negative of situations , for example COVID19, it can be hard to find a way to be happy and cope. How we deal with things can affect us. Every time I go grocery shopping, I can see and feel how people are frustrated and anger and sad at the same time. Body language is a key to figuring out how people are feeling. For example, I went to Kroger's few days ago and I looked around. I saw an elderly woman give a nasty look at a mother and child because they were wearing a mask. They were wearing a mask to protect themselves and not get sick from anyone else. I was personally disgusted by that old woman because the mother was protecting her child. Its mothers instinct to protect their young ones. As a mother, I went up to the old lady, 6 ft apart though and wearing a mask, and asked her what is your problem. She gave me a smart statement so I gave her smart statement back. There is no reason for anyone to be like that towards each other. When I got home, i still felt anger and disgusted but I knew down deep in my heart and soul and mind I don't need to be like that. Negative feelings isn't the answer. The answer is...Laughter! So i decided to watch Naked and Afraid on TV. One of the survivalist, Gary Golding, is my favorite. He makes me laugh so much! Especially in his season 9 episode 4 Forbidden Fruit when he was partnered up with Karra. They both made me laugh but Gary is and will always be my favorite. Not only did he make me laugh but he send a very good message... Consume As Little As Possible! It doesn't matter what we all go through...what matters is how we make the most of it by laughter, smiles , and love. Love and Laughter is the best medicine. From my point of view when ever i feel down and I watch Naked and Afraid Gary Golding, it makes me laugh and smile, it truly does make me feel better inside and out! Negative is bad but Positive energy and laughter is better. Too much negativity can make us sick but if we laugh and become a better person then that positive energy can help us. So if we contract COVID19 don't look down at it. Make the most of it and REST! Yes its a difficult situation but if remain positive and make the most of it then we can ALL get through this. There is a certain spark or feeling of laughter that brings smiles on our face and warm feeling inside. Laughter does make you pee if you do laugh too hard for sure. It’s a proven fact. I watched Bad Moms 2 with my man two nights ago and it made me laugh so badly. Especially the male stripper scene made me laugh I tinkled myself. What woman would want wax a mans balls and so forth? Laughter is amazing negativity isn’t. I don’t take my life seriously because we only have one life to live and live it to the fullest. Be Happy and Live Life to Fullest!

Social Media Addiction
Through the early 2000s to now, Social Media has always been around. Whether its email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Myspace, etc., it will continue to grow. We see what our eyes see but do we fully understand what social media can do to our human brains? There are pros and cons of social media. One pro would have to be constant communication to family, friends, and depending on work. We all like to wonder and see what we do day to day. And that is ok. It is ok to stay in contact with family and friends and watch their funny events and triumphs. Even during these pandemics, like COVID19, or any illness spreading, we rely on social media to stay in touch due to social distancing. Communication is the biggest reason for Social Media. Now, there a lot of cons of Social Media. What a lot of people don’t realize is that social media can affect us in so many ways. It does mess with our human brain and does destroy human brain cells slowly but surely. Throughout my years, I have watched and observed people through in person and online. I like to observe before jumping the gun. I consider social media, especially Facebook, a trap. What do I mean by trap? Here is a prime example. My man and I have been together for almost 6 years. I understand he doesn’t have a life like me, but he is constantly on Facebook. His eyes are glued to it. When he gets home and I ask him to spend time with me he, through my eyes, is on Facebook. It hurts me emotionally because I think he loves social media than myself. It’s ok to be on social media and check time to time but when I see him and others constantly and can’t put their phone down, then that is the problem. That is where ADDICTION COMES FROM. WHEN SOME IS ADDICTION TO MEDIA AND VIDEO GAMES AND TAKE TIME AWAY FROM IT, UNLESS IT’S WORK, THEN THEY NEED SERIOUS HELP. It’s like their brain triggers social media but leaves out everything else. It takes away that sense of knowing there are things out there other than Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Society Often Teaches Us to Suppress Our Sad Feelings, Branding Them as Negative.
Allow yourself the time to feel, process, and let go. What a journey we’ve traveled together. You can relate to that pain that appears out of nowhere and wants to linger in our minds. Once fear moves in, it takes root—spreading doubt, loneliness, and confusion It’s that kind of pain that overtakes your mental health, gradually making a home within you. Your thoughts can create a space filled with fear, a feeling that we often cling to because it’s the one our minds use against us—leading to a fierce battle between your thoughts and your feelings. It’s a struggle no one wants to lose, yet losing yourself feels like an ever-present threat. Isn’t that a trick life plays on us?

Fair Trade without robberies
Fair Trade without robberies Chapter 1 of Dark Memoirs There are at least two types of people in the world: those who write this half-assed introduction to a story that tries to distinguish the unusual from the common, and those who are aware that it is an overused framing device but choose not to use it. I tend to be in the latter camp, not the former. In case you were curious. if you asked the question in your head as if you were praying to God, Santa, or that person who was with you for the first two decades of your existence. You are aware of it. the man who went to bed with your mother that night. Looking back, I believe I was always troubled. No, I am aware of it. issues with being disconnected and detached. I really like people, but they are full of cliches, like they can't be trusted and are always wrong. Because the world is cruel and people have hearts, people are cruel. Their hearts are erratic and dishonest. You are already familiar with the kind of cliches I'm referring to. I rarely look in the mirror. Concerned about what I might see? No. I already know what I'll see, and it's not something I like. It is a waste of time to look through a looking glass for every second. Self-loathing is my full-time job, and I'm good at it without looking at that horrible jerk. As the last person so many people see before they expire, I do feel they're relieved by death's imminent arrival. As a result of the darkened realization that dances across their face as I call time, there will be no robberies. I'd say that it gives me a sense of purpose and even joy, but I'm much more than just driven by basic human needs. Glib. That is a word that is rarely used. It feels appropriate, even in my memoirs, which are heavy on erudition and grandiosity. According to the Collins Dictionary, the term "glib" refers to something that is simple and effortless, but frequently in a deceptive, superficial, or insincere manner. Perfect.
