Pedes,
Our ranks have been assaulted and slapped and many of us have scattered throughout the winds to attempt re-entrenchment.
I write to say I have to bow out - not that I expect shit from any of you outside of you doing what you do.
The Covid OP bashed me and my family. Intensely. I'm finally realizing that I did not walk through this valley untouched - I have PTSD.
We all talk about Autism here. I live it. Around the clock. My 6 year old girl has severe autism. When the Plandemic hit - it nuked her entire life, rather, OUR ENTIRE FAMILY.
While some people were freaking out having panic attacks about where to find toilet paper - I was running across Houston attempting to find the only items she would eat, toiletries, and whatever else. I was in a constant state of "ready for battle" before the Plandemic. Then it hit, and I saw it coming, and we watched the insanity of the election happen with a summer of rage - which now looks like it's about to crescendo into the "CIA UAP OP" so many of us joked about a year ago. They're going for it.
Guys - realize your limits.
Be there for one another.
We have enough shills around to fill Hunter Bidan'z crack-pipe ( just kidding that could never be full enough ). Stick the fuck together and do good to all of those around you.
Realize when it's time to shut up, back out, and Anon Up - cuz ain't nobody out there going to tell you when.
I'm blessed to be here, alive, writing this message. I made it. So many I knew with serious PTSD didn't. Vets that couldnt make their counseling appointments, parents of autistic kids that just couldn't handle "Well if this is the world I can't fucking continue", and kids .... FREAKING KIDS ... that are now growing up knowing nothing different with all of this.
We can't get better covering up Sin and pretending it isn't there.
We can't improve by building a house on lies.
We cant thrive by waiting on baited breathe for actions to take.
Go out and lift up those around you.
Listen to those around you.
The impact of all of this on kids is bigger than you can imagine.
If you are not finding a way to work with kids, mentor kids, throw them a line - they are lambs waiting for the slaughter.
We can all talk a bunch of shit about this or that - if you don't actively set the example in your community - that community is going to move on without you or die on the vine.
If you are reading this, I love you ( even if you are a shill ).
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
Psalms:139-8
I have a special needs son with brain damage from stroke and epilepsy. He has autistic tendencies. I feel you pain. Raising a child in this sinful world is hard enough, throw in circumstances like this and it is even more difficult. Your number one goal in life, what God gave to you, is to take care of your family. No matter what does or does not occur this fact does not change. Peace to you brother, take care of your family get away from this mess.
I left after jan 20 and came back. Not sure why I came back, mainly because of the community here. If I could compartmentalize the community from the hopium that woudl be great. While the hopium is nice to see at times, it gets one anxious, anxiously awaiting all of this to change. Living life in an anxious state is not good for anyone and not good for one's family.
May God bless you and your family.
