Received a message in my messenger a few days ago. Spoke of a woman who was feeling inadequate in her relationship and described a man that was, for all intents and purposes, simply not present. It struck me when I read it. Thoughts immediately began to run in my mind. Opinions and judgements were plenty. But I ignored it. Dismissed it. Kicked it a one liner response and moved on. It’s been days later and I’m still thinking about it.
I mean, who isn’t insecure? About something. At some time. I’d wager to think that we all feel insecure at different times in our lives. It’s part of the human condition. One of the many horrible but natural things that make us human. The feelings of being inadequate. Not enough. Lacking. Whether it’s our language, body image, the lifestyle we live, etc. there seems to be plenty of reasons to make us feel less about who we are inside. And I honestly believe 99.9% of our insecurities are developed and formed in our early childhood development.

The signs popping up all over suggesting the social distancing of 6 feet didn’t bother me. The occasional person wearing a mask wasn’t alarming. The closures of schools I gave a nod. Made sense. I could understand the rationale behind keeping the little germ magnets at home to prevent the spread. The request for people to stay home was met with a shrug. We were told to “self-isolate” and “save lives”. I literally made half a dozen memes based on that concept alone. But then things started changing. Things keep being added. All under the guise of being “safe” and “saving lives”.

COVID-19 has been the topic of conversation for weeks and with that has come all sorts of conspiracy theories as to the how and why we’re dealing with this virus right now.
I have never been one to put much weight into conspiracy theory. But the COVID-19 conspiracy theories have been somewhat hard to avoid as of late. I’ve been “tagged” and messaged by various people over the course of a good week. Many of which I don’t consider to be “crazy” or easily “duped”. So after being consistently told to check into “QAnon”, I thought why not? I’ve got time, right. So this is what I’ve found out and this is what I think. Understand that I am in no way speaking from a position of authority on the subject.
As with most things I write about I’m simply sharing with you what I think. So take that as you will; hopefully with a grain of salt.

To be totally honest, I’m a bit annoyed that I’m even writing about this. I’m typically not one to care much about getting in line or subscribing to mass hysteria. But I think in light of recent events I’d be foolish not to at least share my thoughts on it. Not that it has me concerned in any way shape or form, but with the news of the Corona Virus came all sorts of somewhat “new” things to think about. I’m sure I’m not the only one. I’m sure many others have found themselves in thought at the impact of what could be and what that would mean.
