Anyone else need a white pill?
Hi friends,
Things were already weird, but boy did they get extra weird in March of 2020. When seemingly outlandish conspiracy theories come true and the dominoes fall one after one, dang it can really be disheartening!

So this is the white pill* I'm dosing myself with as I ponder all the logic defying mandates and more:
The Berlin Wall eventually fell. The Gulags eventually closed. The Cold War eventually ended. The Austro-Hungarian empire collapsed. Roman Empire too. Really... all the empires... eventually are replaced. The markets that crashed and burned came back to life. Children become adults. Every ding dang thing will change because that's how things work!
YES, IT FEELS EXTRA CRAZY RIGHT NOW. BUT...
We can resist madness. We can remember what's real. We can honor that everything in life is temporary, even life. "This too shall pass."
I cannot allow myself to be black pilled by the insanity. There is a reason I don't own a TV or use a SMART phone or trust the oh-so-lame news media!
I'm making a vow right now to really live my best life. To act with faith, not live in fear. My thoughts, my choices, my body... they are MINE and MINE ALONE. To self medicate with enough white pills needed that I find hope in the insanity. Like visiting the well to refill my jug, as often I needed, if that makes sense.
THERE IS ALWAYS MORE HOPE TO BE FOUND! Today is a new day, and God willing, tomorrow will be another new day too...
I’m sharing here b/c I've been needing to remember this. Maybe I'm not the only one?!
With faith, hope, ‘n love,
Éva
P.S. *Taking a white pill is essentially another way to say that you’re dosing yourself up with something that fills you with hope. Taking a black pill, by contrast, is when you see the crummy-appearing things in the world and feel similarly crummy.
