Post-2020, But Not All the Way

 How do you go through everything we went through, and not want to do everything possible to kept it at bay.

I don't know how anyone can have gone through any version of the last year and not want to do everything in ones own power to get the fuck back to normal.

The pandemic and the entire year have brought so much death and pain and struggle and torturous survival.  I watched children commit suicide, adults overdose, students drop out of school, get sick, and complete assignments between funerals.  We watched our children de-socialize, we de-socialized.  We gave up holidays, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, and who knows what else.  Said goodbye to movies, concerts, sports....

And I don't get it.

How do you come through that *more* selfish?!?!  Less willing to work towards a world where all of that fades to black.  How on Earth is anyone saying no to a vaccine that can save lives and give us normal back.  I cannot tell what kind of human being would give up life, love, and freedom, health, the sanity of friends, family and strangers.

  Who the fuck is so selfish as to duck a shot and refuse the world that?  Risk that, leave that up to chance.


I am sorry, I don't want to be friends with those people.  If you don't get the shot stay the entire fuck away from me.
