I’ve received some birthday messages today that inevitably devolve into something related to the pandemic/muh vaccines/insert fear-mongering talking point here.
I was told by two friends who had no issue going to Florida with me last March that I’m no longer allowed to go with them this February, because I don’t believe in vaccine mandates and “it would be wrong for them to go with someone who doesn’t believe in the power of the vaccine and how it has helped [insert city with issues] so much.” Meanwhile, it’s apparently not hypocritical for them to go to Florida—a state adamantly against mandates—just like AOC.
Not to get too personal on here, but I started really recovering from a life-altering injury right about the time the pandemic started. The world shut down right as I was ready to try to re-enter it.
And now it has consumed the lives of everyone around me, aside from my immediate family.
It seems I can’t have a conversation with people anymore without something about vaccines/COVID coming up in conversation. It’s becoming insanely lonely, as I’m still in my 20s and feeling like I have no one my age who is also awake. I have one friend who is at least hesitant and questioning. The rest just continue to follow the herd. They were normal, functioning, even incredibly supportive friends until the party told them to turn.
All I want for my birthday is for the movie to be over. For some semblance of hope that we’re still cleaning up the mess. I was hoping that would come with Fauci and Walensky testifying today, but it looks like nothing will happen to them once again.
Sorry for venting. Just feeling beat up on what should be a celebratory day. And wondering what it’s going to take to get common sense and camaraderie back in the country and my life.
EDIT: still working through replying to everyone, but a quick comment to say thank you to the mods for stickying this thread, and for everyone who commented here with birthday wishes, advice, and support. I am immensely grateful for you all and this place each and every day. My own extended blood family couldn’t be bothered to contact me today, but my pede fam showed once again that the best company are the frens you make along the way.
Happy Birthday, its my birthday too.
We all want the end of this movie, all of my family are vaxxed except my partner and our daughter.
Hope and faith is keeping me going. You just have to hold on, its clear there is a battle occurring I am in the UK and seeing members of the herd start to question everything they all think I'm some crackpot conspiracy theorist but at least they are beginning to question the narrative.
Soon they will have to decide, many are in denial and don't want to admit the truth. To be honest I still don't know exactly what the truth is, except something is happening that will change humanity forever and I may survive it, perhaps I won't but I have faith that i am doing what I am meant to do, and I have hope that I will be able to see better days for us all.
Cheers to you from across the pond, Birthday twin! I saw a Telegraph Op-Ed this morning along the lines of what you’ve been experiencing, it sounds like. Hopefully we are truly seeing the tide turn.
I also don’t know the truth; the confusion gets to me in moments like this. Thanks for the reminder to reinvest in hope and faith.
Happy Birthday to you both!! May God bless and keep you in the Palm of His Hand! 🙏🎉🎂🎁

Happy birthday and remember the Bible says he that endures to the end shall be saved it's a worthwhile salvation, hold the line
Thank you for the reminder and the birthday wishes. It’s tough out here but the only choice is to endure.
Amen
Stickied. We love and support our frogs. Each of us have our unique crosses to bear. You're doing a great job and trying your best, pede. 🐸
Happy birthday
Thanks so much, cats✨
Sticky is unexpected and appreciated. Thanks for all that you do on this site.
Amen...😉
i remember when mods still stickied note-worthy posts about Q drops and connections, rather than birthday wishes and reposts.
Happy Birthday, fren. Sorry you're feeling down and alone, but I can promise you one thing, you are not alone. We all want this to end as quickly as possible. Every generation seems to have it's trials and I sincerely pray this will be the one and only serious trial your generation will ever have to face.
Being cooped up with an injury for so long, then thwarted just as you were ready to re-enter society must be rough, because while most of the world has been dealing with this for about 2 years, it must feel much longer to you. One thing I will suggest that I believe would help you tremendously is this - instead of looking at this as an isolating situation in your life, look at it as an opportunity to expand your knowledge. When else will you have this much time to do so? When you might usually be hanging out with friends and now can't, use that time to really build yourself up. Put on the full armour of God. Study, study, study. Exercise, get stronger, lift weights. Learn about diet and nutrition and make YOU the best you that you can be. Also, use the time to study one (or more) subjects of particular interest to you. How about - The Constitution? Most Americans are woefully ignorant on this important subject. You could make it your area of expertise. Or American history - or history in general.
You don't know yet how important YOU are going to be to your generation. You may be the one lone voice crying in the wilderness and may, at some point in the future, need to pick up the reigns and lead your former friends and others from your generation out of the darkness and into the light of the future. Be PREPARED by making yourself as fit as a soldier and as knowledgeable as a wise man.
Good luck. Hopefully, this will only be one of many, many, more and many better and brighter birthdays to come. God bless, fren.
Thank you for the well wishes and the advice.
I have been steadily fixing my diet and exercise regimen since this began—the upside of being injured for so long was all I could focus on was healing myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. The timing just happened to be the opposite of the rest of the world; I am glad that I am well enough and awake enough to see through the fear.
I will have to revisit the Constitution as well as the Federalist Papers. I had some tremendous history teachers—in public school, no less—that pushed us to study those documents in depth. I likely wouldn’t have gotten the same history lessons if I wasn’t in AP classes in my district, but I’m grateful regardless. I’m attempting to learn how to code from home as well for the time being.
I definitely need to keep working on getting tougher skin if I’m ever in a position to lead on that scale. That’s been far slower to develop so far. I tossed the defiance aside in elementary school when I wanted to fit in with everyone else; now I know that was the opposite of what I should’ve been doing. Just have to get back to it.
Thanks for your kind words, and your better take on the situation. It’s not often you get to patiently prepare for what’s come; here’s hoping we have more frens when we get to the other side.
That is awesome to hear! -- That you had teachers that actually taught about those important aspects of not only our history, but our present! I seldom hear that.
You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and you're still quite young. But yes, preparing yourself is an excellent use of your time and will give back to you in so many ways. You just don't yet know how or when, but whenever the call comes in, you'll be ready. Honestly, I wish there was a way we could get together in groups (safely find each other irl) because I know there are so many people who feel the way you do and it would be a mercy to be able to meet other like minded people face to face. Maybe some day that will be possible. Take care, fren.
Happy birthday and hang in there....
And fuck those people
Thank you, fren!
I know what you mean. The fear is all consuming for them. It’s discouraging but then I’ll find that someone I had basically written off as unreachable starts asking questions. It’s definitely a slow progression but we’re the majority. There will be some who will never accept the truth and it will only hold them back . You state you’re in your 20’s. I can personally attest to the fact that patience is not a virtue in your age group and it isn’t in many other age groups either. My husband is 10 years older than me (in my sixties) and he’s astonished by all the sleepers out there. Truly sheep he says and he’s so over being “patient” for “the best is yet to come.” You have friends here and I promise you, better, more loyal and trustworthy friends are in your future. My wish for your birthday is what you wish; that all the madness will stop. And it will. Happy Birthday anon and lifting a prayer for you that it turns out to be a spectacular birthday no matter what.
Thank you, immensely, for this. I needed it.
This too shall pass.
It’s been an on-going issue for months; the switch flipped sometime in August.
One of them is a descendant of a celebrated Union army leader, and yet finds no issue with the tyranny taking hold of this country today. As a descendant through my grandma’s second marriage of a Declaration signer, I am shaken by how easy it was for that to happen. Reagan was right about us losing everything in just one generation.
Hang in their fren and Happy Birthday. The end of this nightmare/movie will be beautiful. Even your friends may see the light.
Happy Birthday and wishes for many more healthy and happy years. You have a lifetime of great things ahead. In tough times, remember...'this, too shall pass'. Have faith and keep your eyes on Jesus. I used to tell my kids, when something didn't turn out for them, I promised there were better things just around the corner. And sure enough, there always was! They are adults now and have repeated the same saying to their kids. :)
The madness in the world won’t stop, but the madness in your life can. I promise… it can.
Happy Birthday I wish you many BOOMS Today !
Haha, thank you!!
❤️🥳🥳🙏
Happy Birthday, come on down to Florida Fren, plenty of 20 somethings here will hangout and party with ya. No masks, no passports, real live FREEDOM. Fuck those commie "friends" of yours.
Come to Florida with out them! You don't want to spend time with worry warts while you're on vacation. People in florida are so friendly. You will have a great time! I promise! PS. Happy Birthday!!
Your friends are already dead. Their souls and mental cognition are dead. They are just a physical breathing shell of a person. I have already morned the passing of family and former friends as they are also dead.
Those wrapped up in Mass Formation Psychosis are already dead.
You were supposed to silently make that wish and then blow out the candles, now you told us all and jinxed it!
Happy B-day, anyway!
Hahaha, thank you for the laugh today and the birthday wishes.
Happy birthday to you!
I'm in the same boat. 20s, all of my friends have been vaxxed or are hypnotized by the CDC, CNN, Fauci, etc. Covid is a topic they LOVE to gush about. I have to work really hard just to get the conversation topic onto something else, and even then it always ends up being something about other mental programming like "have you seen the new Spider Man movie??"
UGH. I'm tired of this too. But I guess we have to remember that it took centuries for this cabal to build itself up and enslave us all, so it'll take more than a few years to tear it down, sadly. But I have hope and trust in our true President Trump.
Happy birthday fren. This too shall pass. You can now see people for who they are. Friends are only friends until your path diverges. You’ll find new frens people that you can actually count on when shtf. It’s also my birthday coming up too fellow Cap
Happy Birthday, from Down Under. It was mine last Mon. Capricorns unite!!
The madness is coming to end. The masses are awakening, slowly, but surely. The mass formation will start to break.
Happy birthday! Sorry your having to go through this… how horrid of you’re friends. There’s just something so hurtful when you have good friends who betray you. The insanity right now is through the roof. I just don’t see how people can’t see through the bullshit. I give you a lot of credit for not caving and standing strong. To have the vision to see the truth. You’ve been chosen for a reason. We are all having our battles and lost people over this. It is all by their design. This community is here for you and each other in our times of need. I pray you get your birthday wish. I pray you get your birthday wish very soon. Sending you love, hugs and prayers. 🤗❤️
Happy Birthday fellow Capricorn and fellow Pede!
May 2022 bring many like minded friends and a continued full recovery from your ailments!.
Happy Birthday Fren 🐸 I have to agree it's such a fucked up time and I fear we're years away from anything significant because I look around and see all the people CHEERING for vax passports and masking and I often times can't believe this is real life. Living in a hell hole blue state doesn't help.
I don't have a single friend besides my family that is awake, it's a nightmare. I loved reading the advice on here and some days I'm fine and others I just need to vent like you :) cheers to finding a few more people along the way that can fight the good fight with us!
It's my birthday today too! Capricorn bros.
Your friends sound kinda lame.
Happy Birthday, good guy!
Well, hope you are surrounded by friends singing "happy birthday"!!
Fuckem, you got frens here that will go with you! Happy Birthday all the same!!!
Happy Birthday and best wishes from England!
Happy birthday fren! Stay strong keep the faith you digital soldier!
First of all...Happy Birthday...🍰Second, Venting is good...Hang in there...You are Not alone
Thank you, fren, on both counts. Cheers to you in SA.
👍😉
first of all, happy birthday. take this day to forget about all the hardships in life and just enjoy yourself.
second of all, your friends should be ashamed of themselves and I'm sorry they did that to you.
Happy Birthday Fren!! 🎂 https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c0/a9/b5/c0a9b526c5f597ece67f299eea1d4f28.jpg
Happy Birthday fren! 🥳 We are all hoping this clown world nonsense comes to an end very soon. We all are here and hanging on together, praying for all of our futures!
Satisfaction and disappoint are determined by expectations. So let's reset the expectations.
Bringing justice to the evil that has tormented the world for 100 years will require as much patience that can be asked of us. We are experiencing the cabal's end game, and they are expending all their ammo. They are putting us through WW3. Just like any great war, those living through it want it to end immediately, when the reality is it won't end for several more years. There have been many casualties, but let's be grateful we're not storming a foreign beach or confronting a bonzai charge on Iwo Jima.
When you watch how mind-controlled your friends and family are (like many of mine), you understand that deprogramming it must occur incrementally and must take time. There will be no great reveal by the military that suddenly breaks the spell. Disillusionment will occur drip by drip, week by week for several years.
Disillusionment with a strongly held dogma is painful. It leaves a person in freefall. They feel lost. Consider all the pain you've dealt with, then consider that your friends will endure just as much if not more. They'll have to come to terms with the fact they were brainwashed. They were controlled. They spread the lies. Their lies helped kill people.
Trust me, if you forgive them, they'll value your friendship more than any other as you help them through the mind warp they'll experience over the next several years.
Happy birthday! We’re all weary.. just know ~this too shall pass
Happy Birthday and congrats on another successful orbit around Sol. May you experience the joy and love of a thousand lifetimes and be able to see the happiness all around you!
