EVERYBODY HURTS..... SOMETIMES

4/7/2020

It’s been a week since I posted any new links and articles. There were plenty. But I hit the wall. Figuratively speaking.

At first, I was dealing with covid by using my time at home to develop new skills, cooking and building a blog for example. At the time that felt like the best use of my time. I was inspired by all the promising positivism happening despite this hard time… and I wanted to document and share some of these amazing efforts by individuals and companies alike, inspire others to feel hopeful.

But I realized that a lot of people didn’t react to the coronavirus pandemic, working and educating their kids from home, the social distancing and the social isolation that comes with it in the same way. I felt it this past week. All the bad news that seem to be getting worse got the best of me. Just getting through the day in sweatpants, and no plan or responsibility was what I had to challenge myself to accomplish this past weekend. Not having a total breakdown was the biggest accomplishment possible. And that’s OK I realize. I am forgiving myself for barely functioning. It’s OK not to be OK.

I am starting to get back up, slowly. Art has been a calming force and an escape from reality since I can remember. When I didn’t speak any English 25 years ago, I relied on visual ques to navigate my new surroundings, both physical and emotional. Just like then I find solace in anything beautiful now. The virtual “micro escape” to Frida Kahlo Museum offered just that. Music helped too.

When your day is long
And the night, the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes
Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
PS for some of the younger folks, the title and these lyrics are by REM, one of the best band in my humble opinion
