Happy 2020 Thanksgiving
5 years ago
Happy Thanksgiving to all who follow me on here.
And when I say that, I sincerely mean it.
As it been said, time and time again: 2020 has been a HORRIBLE year for almost everyone. Major fires, economic setbacks, a deadly pandemic that has our lives more restricted, and the untimely passings of celebrities, creators, and close-love-ones by the month… and that’s just the general average of what’s been going so far into the year.
For me, the worst thing that has directly affected me this year is that after getting some needed body work on done and on the very day I paid off hundreds for the insurance to cover the rest of the year, my car had some engine issues that seemly vanished that none at the repair shop could identify… which means my car still runs fine… but could fail at any given moment, so I can’t really drive it when I need it…. And sad to say, they makes me a “lucky” one…. I know too many others who have been dealt with worse loses than they should… so to them, I offer my condolences. Yours is pain is too great, and with this year, it’s a lot to bear with. Just know that I will not only help you through these hard times, but you have others who will too. Just don’t be afraid to ask… We love you. We are hurting too. The best we can do for each other is share that pain and support each other.
Moving back to a more personal note about the year: it has been something a great time for me to reflect and came to realize how limited I am in life; and not just due to all the hours to my day job, my money (or lack of), general equipment/tech, or even the Covid-Virus itself, but has been more about me in general. I keep letting myself be unmotivated to do anything I planned… I keep putting things off until I have the “real” time to deal with them… but that’s not working out, as everything is either piling up around me or getting lost over time; all because I wasn’t paying close enough attention to the details or let myself be too distracted to handle it properly, mostly due to my ADD…
In fact, it been hard just to sit down, write ALL of this down, and spell check before the literal end of Thanksgiving day this year.
I still find it hard to believe that it is NOW Thanksgiving… with all the work I have, I only lived for most my Days off, which are just 2 in a 5 day work week… but even then I have to work around being there when my family needs me for something, being able to afford anything I need/want at the time, and running personal errands for the holidays, it is frustrating to miss out doing ALL things I want.
But I learn with what I can do, I just can’t DO everything I want to do.
I’ve also took notice that despite everyone socializing more online now due to Covid Lock-Downs… I’ve also notice that many social sites that I’ve been and still a part of have been… low with interaction. I still get some faves and likes from some posts I make… but hardly anything that counts as real social action, like comments or general chats outside of commission requests… it seems like everyone now is either too busy to keep up with everyone, or they’re in a shell and hard to get them out of it… and thanks to my social experiences growing up… this has me feel weird and awkward in some situations, and I am not sure I am handling right…
Which is why this Thanksgiving I am ESPECIALLY thankful to my close friends, mutuals, and followers who have been and stick by me all this time.
To my close friends, who always up to listen and talk to me despite all the chaos going on around them.
To my mutual: who have been a pleasure to just interact with, all thanks to their diverse interests to help keep my shut-in life more interesting and less of a rut.
And to my followers, who actually still seem to standby me and silently enjoy what I post here. I may not know all of you, but if you enjoyed my work and it inspires you, than you are special to me too.
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all. Let us save the rest of the rest about this year around when the ball drops on New Year’s. For now, let us be off to Black Friday Super Death Sales and go through the 12-Pains of Christmas.
