Can't We Call Hump Day ~ "Fk You Day" (At Least for Today?)

 

Page 283 of 366. Good Afternoon Lovies!!! I just wanna say, I am not in a shitty mood. I am not in a irritable mood. I am not in a bitchy mood, nor am I irked by anything nor anyone. I am, however, in a weird mood... which should't surprise people who know me... and if it does; you haven't been paying attention at all!!!

My mind is in a bit of a fog today. I had such a hard ass day, mentally yesterday, that I think I am still feeling the residual of that rollercoaster today. When I have days like I did yesterday... it sometimes takes me days to get to (what I would consider) somewhat "normal".

What I am about to write about is going to trigger a lot of people and a lot of hate from people; but these are my view on things... right or wrong, I am going to speak my mind, because at the end of the day, this is MY truth and MY feelings. I am not coming from a place of hate; I am coming from a place of logic and reality. I am not coming from a place of ignorance; but actually coming from a place of wisdom and knowledge of being in similar situations... So here it goes...

I have shared a bit of my life with people on here, so with my life experience I am able to say what I am about to say, and if people hate me for what is being said... so be it, it still doesn't change the facts.

We, well most people... I don't watch the news so I cannot get into very nitty gritty details... but I know what is going on with Hurricane after hurricane pounding the east coast, specifically Florida (Helene, Ian and now Milton). Many, many people have chosen to pack up what they could and are trying or have gotten the hell out of dodge because Hurricane MIlton is not only a Mammoth compared to Katrina; it is bringing with it several supercell tornadoes with it. I am sending out all the positivity and hope that these people make it to safety, or at least far away enough that they will not feel the brunt of Mother Nature.

However, this post is not about those people...

My issue is with the ones who decided that they were going to "ride out the storm". I mean, I can understand that mentality (to a degree). I have been through a couple hurricanes, tornadoes, storm of the century, etc... BUT, when you state and country has already been ravage by some storms that have wreaked sooooo much havoc on its land and people that even your very own government is not helping anymore... my only question is WHY???

I understand about the people who are in long-term care homes, patients in ICU, or people who were unable to leave due to these kind of circumstances; but those who stayed behind because they want to stay with their homes, or property, etc... I am calling you out specifically!!! How many times are people going to see this... storm season after storm season, that staying behind, of your own free will is one of the most selfish things you could ever do. You are choosing material things over human life. 

To be honest, I am not even speaking about your own stupid asses because you made that choice... so you can deal with the fallout of your own stupidity... I am talking about the first responders, the resources that was and is desperately needed for those who could not leave; which is now going to be spent on you selfish people!!!

Trust when I say I understand that some people want to keep their homes and save as much of their things as they can... you spent your life trying to obtain these objects and are proud of them. I fully understand that... BUT all those things are just that... THINGS!!! More often than not, people perish in these storms, so what exactly did you accomplish by staying behind??? What do these things do for the loved ones that are now mourning you??? Can they hug these things, get advice from these things, converse with these things, share memories that are eternal with these things??? NO THEY CANNOT!!! 

There is a method to my madness...

I have been on both ends of the spectrum when it comes to wealth. I have been under a roof where I didn't have a care in the world; where I never needed to worry where the next grand, or couple grand was coming from. I lacked for nothing. It was living in the lap of luxury... on the flip side, I also know what it is like to lose absolutely everything; be penniless with nothing but maybe a cardboard box to shield you from the elements.... never knowing if you'll have a morsel of food to eat or even survive the night. So before you try to jup down my throat saying I do not know... YES I DO!!! I AM SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE.

I also know that people will only learn from their own experiences; as that is what this life is all about. I am just sad that so many of you have not learned what is most precious. My thoughts, my love, my heart, my respect and hopes are for all those who have escaped, who tried to escape, those who were unable to escape and for those who stayed behind to take care of those who weren't given the choice to escape. I hope Mother Nature shows mercy on you... as for those who truly decided on their own to stick it out... Mother Nature will do her thing and unfortunately (Because you seem to not know any better), you will have to deal with the cards the Universe has dealt you!!!

With that, I implore everyone to stay safe, stay cool/warm. Be well. Be blessed.
