Passing of RockyTheProcy & What We Must Do
5 years ago
General
For some who have not yet heard but are looking at the title and have just found out, yes...it's true.
Heard within the last hour that
RockyTheProcy died in the hospital from COVID-19...with his death, we lost a talented artist, and a beloved member of this community. I didn't know him personally, but I loved his artwork; he will be missed by many, no doubt...and my sympathies go out to all his friends and family.
This should come as a sober reminder that despite the strides made to combat this virus, the pandemic is still far from over. It's been over a year since COVID-19 struck the United States and upended everything we enjoyed in our lives, as well as everything we did to maintain and further our lives in terms of jobs and income. As of this journal, the US now stands at over 28.6 Million cases and over 512,000 deaths...also, despite my credentials, job experience, and efforts...I still have fallen short in finding a good-paying job, along with many others--some of which may be reading this journal right now--and must continue to rely on assistant programs like unemployment to get by. Months can feel like years, even more so if things halt progress against this virus...or--heaven forbid--make us LOSE progress...
It's been said many times before, but the most effective thing we can do is take care of ourselves - wear a mask, stay socially distant, ultimately take care of ourselves and our bodies, even if it means giving up on applying our fetishes to real life; I had to give up on gaining weight and try to eat healthier because to continue gaining would put me in greater danger of dying from this virus. I know there are some that cannot wear a mask because of other health issues, and I understand that...if that's the case, then please, do what you can to have friends and family do your errands like picking up groceries, medication, etc. if you can't take all reasonable steps to keep yourself and others safe; only go out when you absolutely have to, like for a doctor appointment or something critical of the like. Ask yourself: how important is this errand that I must go?
There's already enough of the populace out there that put their pride and arrogance over decency and sensibility; the best we good folk can do is do what we can until we can start getting some sense of normalcy back in our lives...if that's even possible at this point... v.v
