This Summer Is The Worst

Every day this summer seems to be blazing hot. It can’t go 5 hours into the morning til its 90 degrees. This may be the hottest summer yet and the worst thing is you can’t go out anywhere unless you wear a mask and there is no indoor seating. So you still have to be outside after all of that. That’s frustrating and something has got to change.

When I say something has got to change I mean go in reverse. There is no way someone is staying healthy through this weather while wearing a mask on a beach or even being at work all day. We are not meant to breathe in our own air. If we cough or sneeze it goes right back to us. So it defeats the purpose of calling a mask protection in the first place.

Our society has become afraid of being close to one another. Have we forgotten that its in our nature to be around each other? I wonder if there was a time when someone was drowning and instead of going straight up to them to save them they threw a floatie that was just 6 feet short of that person catching it. That would be ridiculous. A true matter of life and death. Go swim in that water and carry that person to land, Mr. Lifeguard.

Now we await a vaccine from a guy who’s specialty is computers and not one person is questioning it. Why is that? I don’t know about you but I don’t expect to get a haircut from a lumberjack. They may chop my head off in the process thinking my hair were branches. Let them stay over in the woods to chop some trees instead.

I’m eventually going out very soon or I will go crazy being inside this whole time. Whether its hot or not. I need a change of scenery. I know you want a change too. But it starts with us. We have to take action to go out. Not focus on what the news says but the way our body reacts to certain situations. We have to care of our body and not let a news anchor or a politician tell us how to take care of our body and stay alive.
