Where's Merry?

12/25/2020

 
Christmas has always been a tough day
for those who live with depression.

That was the ongoing case even before
the orchestrated hijacking of life, better known as 2020.

I can't imagine what the death-math
of this first Covid Christmas will be.


Not that it will be reported with any accuracy, or decency...
...two virtues that might be hiding out with merry.

The bells I hear ringing are the alarms of truth and liberty,
but most of the world seems to confuse them with a reindeer sleigh.

Chimney-like isolation is the gift that comes
with seeing what the virus really is, and knowing there is no mask
that can protect from the hazardous material strewn about
non-stop since March. No amount of garland or tinsel or candy canes
can redeem the news-sewage that's poisoned most minds.

I will not gaslight you with false cheer.

If you feel tired or sad or maybe even worse than that,
it actually means you are very much alive and in-tact!

It means that your awareness is functioning
exactly as it should, alerting you of falsity. 

There is empowerment in this grinchy post, and it is this:

If you can detect it,
you can do something about it.
An Existential Journal
How Are You? An Existential Journal

The question "How are you?" is profound.

But it has been watered down to a synonym for "Hello." Forced or fake responses of obligated okayness are expected.

The question prompts an answer that begins with "I AM ________." Many times each day, you are invited to speak the most powerful statement that can be spoken of yourself.

For a change, take your time and tell your truth.
