“Dark Winter”
“We’re learning to die with it.”
I refuse to look into my future with despair.
I refuse to live in fear.
I am cautious. But I am not paranoid.
Life is not inherently safe. It never has been. What makes you think it is now, all of a sudden? It never will be. If you are thinking, believing, or waiting for it to be completely safe, you are going to be waiting for the rest of your life.
I do not want to stay locked up and restricted for the rest of my life.
I want life to go back to normal. The REAL normal. Because, trust me – this…ain’t…it.
I want freedom. Freedom to choose what I want to do. Freedom to make my own decisions.
If you are scared, stay home.
If you are at risk health wise, by all means protect yourself.
But do not force me to do the same.
Quarantine is for the sick – not the healthy.
And no – this is not a political statement.
And yes – I do care about others.
And no – I am not “literally killing people” if I choose not to wear a mask.
I have hope for the future. And that hope comes not from any man, but from the Lord.
My hope may have wavered a few times in the past 7 months. But I refuse to give up on it completely.
I refuse to be a victim. I refuse to accept the doom and gloom agenda. I look forward to the future and recovery and better, normal days ahead with faith, hope, and positive thoughts.
Oddly Enough
