I hate the fact that people refuse to hear something just because it upsets them. I remember my friend with bipolar disorder swearing at people who asked what it was like not to know whether you are a boy or a girl. The world is full of ignorance.

It’s kind of disheartening.

Love it. Keep being real, that’s what matters the most. Those who matter get it and appreciate you for it💜

“a “good vibes only” dweeb, “ this was my favorite sentence. Fake positivity is a killer. It kills your soul, your spirit, your genuine self. When we say hello to someone and they ask how are you? You are expected to say “fine, everything is great!” That’s soul crushing. I hate that. I hate having to hide behind plastic because people are afraid of emotions. Excellent post!

Thank you! I’m NO good at masking.

Who but an unrepentant optimist could find the bright side of Covid 19? I suspect that if you were back on FB you would continue to encounter a legion of latter-day Norman Vincent Peales.
