Thank you for this. You are so real and I appreciate that. I have seen so many beautiful “how to stay calm in times of crisis” videos pop up and while I appreciate the sentiments, telling me to light a vanilla candle is not helpful. Thank you for confronting it head on and letting your viewers feel rather than mask their emotions. I will be going through my endless unfinished project pile trying to stay busy and avoiding people this weekend. I don’t know you personally, but I care about you. Stay safe.
Thumbs up for algorithm purposes and just big hugs in general. Half the UK felt that uncontrollable disbelief when we voted to leave the EU. I couldn’t believe the grass wasn’t purple everything had changed so much. Hang in there. Big love to Bert from my warm taking but emotionally reluctant old doggo
Thank you for this, I seriously needed it. I've noticed that you and I share the same beliefs in humanity, and I've been feeling it too. It's funny that you mention that it's been a grieving process, because I was also noticing it's been like that for me too. Reminds me too much of losing someone close. And also having your trust in people betrayed - I feel like I've been experiencing a broken heart as well. 💔 So seriously, thank you for this. I needed to hear from someone like-minded, because all I've been seeing all day on social media is hate. It's refreshing. I personally love this video and your honesty - I love these sit-down videos you occasionally do on here and Patreon. They are comforting. Especially as someone in a really similar boat. ❤ Please keep making them hehe. But yeah, thank you for making me not feel so alone. I'm grateful to have surrounded myself with wonderful humans like you. Please keep on keeping on ❤ it's what we need in the world right now. Oh also my indulgent activity I guess would be baking. I stopped doing it for awhile, and now I'm back into it. It's an outlet to just be creative for myself, but have something yummy to eat at the end. Haha
"Gathering firewood warms you twice." three times if you cut it. I came here to scream into the void with you. I've been riding a weird roller coaster of emotions & grief since Wed morn.
My current indulgence is to read physical books. I have deleted all apps and streaming channels that are politically related. I don’t want to stick my head in the sand, but rather step away from all of the political toxicity, for the moment. I had never cried after an election until this last one. I cried, cried and cried some more. I am truly afraid for our future. So, in between creating in my studio, work and life, I am reading fiction morning, noon and night. #commiserating
oh and one of my favorite "activity" - to hang around with my 9 cats. It's nice to be around these beings who have no clue what's going on and just living in the moment with bliss. I'm sure you can say the same with your Bert.
Thank you for putting this out there. I’m moving through the stages a bit more now given a few days to attempt to process. I really feel you when you said it’s just so hard to look at other people and trust them now. And the feeling naive for being optimistic. Yeah, I felt that hard too. 🫂 I’m trying not to feel like I’m prepping for an apocalypse. But I feel like there’s a few months to get ready for a whole bunch of really bad changes. As an empathetic person I’m worrying so much about what is going to happen to the most vulnerable in society. (Begrudging even the misguided most vulnerable people that chose this).

I love Berts honesty and him putting himself first energy. Otherwise, you know i am of like mind with you and still very emotionally raw.
Yes. Let's keep each other company and stay strong together
