A better way to get a boost might be to say something like “Hey, guys…feeling pretty low, frustrated, tired, overwhelmed, whatever today - does anyone have any encouragement to spare?”
What you did was bring everyone else, who is also feeling low, frustrated, tired, overwhelmed and many other things just a little lower. Not cool.
I hear you. Sometimes it seems like nothing is happening, small wins, this will never end, yada, yada. But no one starts running today and wins a marathon tomorrow. When it gets really bad, detaching from the constant stream of conversation about the world's ills for a few days helps. You get to choose what to see, and yes, there's a lot of awful. But there is good in this world. Look at how helpful, supportive, and encouraging most everyone is here. Look at PDJT - daily walks through a firing squad, but he won't let anything hold him back from fighting for his country. Most importantly, there is God, and He is there, and He is Goodness itself, and He is for you, 614Patriot. I am too. Hang in there, fren.
Sorry. Sometimes I need a lift and boost of hope. I figured y’all would set me straight and get me back on track.
