i'll never forget the demoralization. it's been horrible. I feel like I'll never be given my normal life back again.

I used to feel that way but I've recently reached the other side. I do not want my old life back. I'm ready for what comes next.

It's liberating. Look forward to seeing you on the other side fren. You'll get here soon enough.

You'll all get here.

amen. I hope the end result is old life but better (because now i'm aware of all the issues, communism, agenda 21, etc. & how to make better life decisions now that i'm out of the slavery of a confused mind from blue area).

I think it's a return to the fundamentals that matter and away from all of the pressures that our warped society tries to shove down our throats. I'm still at the early stages of understanding true spiritual freedom, having just recently thrown off the shackles.

I can't believe it was a rap song that pushed me over the top. We live in a very strange reality.

I swing wildly between your position and wanting to suck off my pistol like Kamala with Willie Brown's brown willie. Not going to, I'm too much of a stubborn ass to take the easy way out, but man, it's been a rough year.

Yes, it's been a rough year. I spent more time alone than anyone I know the past year and I barely made it through. A few good friends, my dog, family, and my stubbornness got me through. Well, meeting the based conservative lady hamster a week before lockdowns was probably the biggest factor. We just texted for about 5 months, but she was a godsend.

Hang in there. If you're on this site, you've already passed the hardest tests. Knowing the truth can be hard, but you've already tossed off your shackles. You are free, and that matters.

It gets better, and the end of this movie is glorious if we have the willpower to collectively see it through.

Until you realize there's a new virus twice every decade and the reaction to the next unknown virus will be preemptive and we'll be back wearing masks till it's fixed.

I encourage you to change your basic outlook. No one will give you back your normal life. You have to create the life and the lifestyle you want.

Kind of like your ancestors out in the wild did except you have to do it in the concrete jungle.
